posted 7 years agoHey. This is an API limitation with webextensions (since Firefox 57). See the addon description:
> The addon does not work on https://addons.mozilla.org, pure svg pages and internal pages like about:newtab, about:addons or other addon option pages. - Rated 4 out of 5by Conlan Wesson, 7 years agoI started using this solely for the rocker gestures when quantum was released. It works great under Windows, but on Linux the rocker gestures seem to require two left clicks to work.

posted 7 years agoYou can use the right click using the latest Firefox 58 beta and Gesturefy 1.1.17 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12803554, 7 years agoJust want to let the author know there are those who are incredibly grateful for your hard work and time spent making Quantum usable again. I actually switched to Chrome for a few days until your gestures rescued Firefox for me. Please ignore the one-stars who clearly don't know how difficult FF57+ is, again thank you so much! :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by the21st, 7 years agoGreat to see support for right click on Mac in Firefox 58! However, it's extremely unresponsive, doesn't work e.g. in tabs that are loading and not yet rendered.
Edit: Wow, that really sucks.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis is a known API limitation and stated in the addon description. No addon will be able to run code before the website is at least partially loaded. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13476357, 7 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13241558, 7 years ago[open links in new background tabs]
Can the tabs sequence change from 1,2,3,4... to ...4,3,2,1?Developer response
posted 7 years agoHey. This is a bit difficult from a number of perspectives. But it is in the back of my mind.
But please write suggestions or feature requests on GitHub https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues - Rated 5 out of 5by lucasmartin, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13533830, 7 years agoGesturfy may be loaded down with more features than I really want, but its slick interface makes it easy to pick out and customize the parts I want.
I also appreciate the specific explanation of required permissions. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13462783, 7 years ago还不错，firefox自带的标签页（例如本评论页面，空白标签页面）不能用手势，希望以后能改进。
- Rated 2 out of 5by Al, 7 years agoI only use the rocker gestures from this extension, but I use them A LOT. Since the update to FireFox 57, and if I enable a rocker that starts with the left click, I can no longer select text in web pages by clicking the left button and dragging!
Moreover, the rocker that starts with right click does not work. This is explained by Gesturefy as being a Firefox bug, and I read that this will be fixed in the next Firefox release. For me this addon is completely unusable at the moment and I had to disable it.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI guess you are using Linux or Mac and suppose you've set the left mouse button for the mouse gesture, because this is the only thing that prevents text selection. I recommend using Firefox 58 beta, because the right mouse button is fixed since the latest version (Gesturefy 1.1.17 and Firefox 58.b7). To enable text selection just change the mouse button to the middle or right mouse button. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13534645, 7 years agoEasy to use. Much easier if they have an option to safe their setting in a small config file.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Warren, 7 years agoVery happy! It works! Now tell me why with Firefox 57, Quantum, when I select from the menu bar, the menu instantly disappears when I hover over it with the mouse. Uninstalled Gesturefy and the problem went away.

posted 7 years agoIf by menu bar you mean this: https://www.maketecheasier.com/assets/uploads/2015/07/restore-firefox-menu-bar-example1.png then it's totally unrelated to Gesturfy. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13533685, 7 years agoI've used this for a number of years, and am now looking for a different gesture extension. My gestures have been wiped half a dozen times (presumably by updates) and because I've customized mine a fair bit this creates quite a bit of frustration.
Despite that, it's not a bad extension, but caveat emptor. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13520538, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13530560, 7 years agoDeveloper was quick to fix a weird issue, perfectly clean and simple gesture addon, highly recommend.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13530520, 7 years agoVery good as an alternative to FireGesture. Dear Developers, could you consider adding functions like 1:"[Popup] Search for Selection with..." and 2:"Open URL / Search for Selection" (I'm not sure the actual title of the latter, though. I mean, if the selection is URL then open it, else search for selection with the default search engine) that FireGesture has, or there's some technical limitation which prevents them? Thank you.

posted 7 years ago1. Popup gestures are on the list. For more information see here: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/99
2. This is possible. The queston is how I will add it (extra action or an option for search action) - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13529298, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13518170, 7 years agoHi
Is this just for business or ok for home, and what does it actually help with or do, Thanks.Ron - Rated 3 out of 5by taro yamada, 7 years agoロッカジェスチャで画像の保存が使用できるため、重宝しています。
ただ、使わないほうのジェスチャーを何もなしにできない点と、画像の保存でCanvasの保存ができないことは不便です。
