- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12166901, 6 years agoThis is the best gestures addon I’ve found. Unfortunately, since the last upgrade it frequently fails to recognize gestures that use to always work, and redrawing the failing patterns did not help.
Setting the Deviation tolerance to 0.35 and Distance Threshold to 5 helped pattern recognition, but that makes it interpret everything as a pattern, even some crazy movement that I do to try cancelling the gesture. So I also enabled Activate idle timeout but I haven’t yet gotten use to use to it.
IMHO, 4 directions gestures worked perfectly. If you do the math it offered over 80 possible gestures with 1 to 3 strokes and over 300 with 4 strokes. I can’t think on anyone needing more than that, but maybe 8 directions gesture would have been an interesting middle ground instead of the vector sequence.
I’ll continue to use Gesturefy, it’s still the best I’ve found in it’s kind. I hope I’ll either get use to the new approach or that future versions will better understand me and my mouse.Developer response

posted 6 years agoHey.
For security reasons, Mozilla has moved "about: home" to their privileged URLs.
Thus, it is no longer possible to create this URL.

posted 6 years agoHey.
This is an API limitation. We can't do anything there.
There is an open issue for this: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/101- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13589779, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by charles.ee, 6 years agoFeature-wise and simplicity-wise, this is my favorite gesture extension.
However, recently it just stops working for no reason. I find myself having to disable/enable the extension to get it working again, which is pretty frustrating. There doesn't seem to be any pattern (initially I thought some sites blocked it, like how you can't gesture on the add-ons page).Developer response
posted 6 years agoHey.
You are welcome to write an issue, including information on which pages it concerns, which addons you have installed, or if they are specific gestures.
Otherwise, we can not help you if there is no pattern :/
https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14078353, 6 years agoI used to use Firegestures, and this was the most promising replacement after the big addon/extension change.
Gesturefy has been working fantastically, and I've even started using a couple more handy moves (like "Save Page As PDF" instead of printing as pdf for a very compact/neatly done pdf save, now I just need to find an addon that saves all open tabs as pdfs!).
Thanks Rob and Itch!Developer response

한마디로 제스쳐가 좀 굼뜬 경우가 있음
