    Definitely one of the most useful addons. The only downside is that it doesn't work on home/newtab/addons and every other build in web page.

    Amazing. I was pretty impressed by GestureFy. I have been using Firegestures for a while before Firefox 57 came and broke eveything. I was using Foxygestures but met a few odd bugs and behaviours when using it. Gave GestureFy a go and was amazed. Good extension and great interface for the customization. Thumbs up

    works great!
    just one thing, it is not working on system pages, eg. new tab blank page, option page, etc.
    I want it to be able to work on these pages so I can swipe to close these tabs
    thank you!

    This is a known api limitation. Please read the addon description for more information. However if you change your new tab page to a normal website, for example by using NewTabOverride (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/?src=search) gestures will work there.

    Hi thank you so much for this add-on. So far, it's working fine. I have a feature request. While using the touchpad on my laptop I can execute the gestures by using two fingers and pressing the pad and execute the gesture (two fingers for right click actions) however, i would like that I can combine the CTRL key with one finger to execute the gesture instead...do you think this is possible to include?

    Works fine, but causes SnapLinksPlus to not work https://github.com/cpriest/SnapLinksPlus

    Found that FoxyGestures seems to work with SLP.

    Thank you. Does what it promises to do, simple to set up.

    > 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.

    Is there a reason for that? I can't seem to find an explanation and I don't think any gestures Add-On can do it so far. Mostly talking about the about:newtab, which was definitely possible before.

    Seems to be the best gestures AddOn
    I definitely like this one more than Foxy. GJ and thanks

    Hey. There is a reason for that. You can also see it at "Take Screenshot" (Mozilla extension). Click the right mouse button on a page and you can take a screenshot. But not here or on about:[x]. It's the same reason why Gesturefy can't do this either. API limitations of webextensions. (But the development of Mozilla's webextensions is still in progress)

    EIn sehr guter Ersatz für Firegestures, funktioniert prima.

    Не работает в некоторых окнах — новая вкладка, настройки, дополнения.

    Hey. Due to API limitations, the addon currently does not work everywhere.

    It would be great to have the possibility to close tabs in reader view and in source code view. Thanks!

    Funktioniert bis auf ein paar Klinken gut. Aber wozu all diese Brechtigungen? Inakzeptabel! Funfacts hin oder her

    In der Beschreibung des Addons wird deine Frage bereits beantwortet.

    FunFact: Zur Zeit vor den Webextensions, also vor FF 57, gab es von Mozilla noch keine Berechtigungen. Für den Nutzer also nicht leicht einsehbar, was das Addon konnte. Es konnte sogar mehr, als wenn man jetzt alle Berechtigungen vergeben würde.

    Edit: "Aber wozu all diese Brechtigungen? Inakzeptabel!" in der Addon Beschreibung werden doch alle benutzten Berechtigungen erklärt.
    Aber, es gibt die Idee, nur dann die Berechtigungen zu geben, wenn man sie braucht. Aber das wird noch einige Zeit dauern bis das umgesetzt wird. https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/93 (für mehr infos)

    Thank you.!!!

    Toolbar navigation pane

    Maximize window / Restore window

    Is it possible to implement a gesture?
    ===========================
    Thank you for your quick reply. ^^

    Your question is wrong.
    Sorry.

    Maximize window / Restore to previous size

    When restoring to previous size after window maximization
    Large monitor users are uncomfortable.

    Hey. First of all, you are welcome ^^
    What do you mean with Toolbar navigation pane ?
    If you mean the sidebar with the bookmarks or the right menu, then that does not work.
    Look here: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/141

    You can already use >Maximize window< (relatively far down in Gestures)
    >Restore window< is also possible, If the last tab was a window.
    ____
    Edit: Oh sorry, misunderstood.
    It is not possible to go back to previous size. Is only possible to go to the maximum window.
    Look here for more informations: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/112

    For Linux look here (addon description):
    > For MacOS & Linux users: Use left or middle mouse button due to the different right click/context menu behaviour
    But the right mouse click for Linux (and Mac) will probably work in Firefox 58. See here for more informations: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1360278#c113

    And because of the unusable pages look here:
    > 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.

    > 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.
    > 本扩展不能在 https://addons.mozilla.org、纯 svg 页面以及内部页面（如 about:newtab、about:addons 以及附加组件选项等页面）上使用。
