- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13470674, 7 years agoWorks great. Any chance that gestures would work on blank pages too?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoSadly no, but you can change the new tab page to a website via extensions like "New Tab Override". - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5671868, 7 years agoThis good replacement for FireGestures, but I need one very important to me function. Please, please, PLEASE, when I make a search of the selected text by gesture, not do it just by one of search engine, give me a list of my installed search engines. I always need a search on various websites, not just a google or somethings. This was in FireGestures, it's a killerfeature to me, I can't use Chrome or New Firefox without it. Thanks.

posted 7 years agoHey. Do you use Linux or MacOS? Then look here:
> For MacOS & Linux users: Use left or middle mouse button due to the different right click/context menu behaviour (see this bug ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1360278 ))
Also note that:

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13469455, 7 years agoGood replacement for old Fire Gestures. Sleek options design, nice gesture visual and sweet bonus gestures

And here: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/6- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13468381, 7 years agoYou get 5 stars for style and coding skill - but also because you're planning to recreate the "Save Image Now" feature from the old FireGestures addon. (This feature instantly & silently saved any jpg, png, gif, etc to the Downloads folder.)
I've used that gesture at LEAST a hundred times a day for the last 5+ years. It has saved me COUNTLESS hours of clicking through menus. Please make it priority? I will name my firstborn kid after you. Seriously.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI'll give my best :) but it will have problems to figure out the right file extensions for unnamed images, so you will have to add it your self (that was the reason why I didn't implemented it yet) - Rated 5 out of 5by Castor, 7 years agoCHANGED ★ TO ★★★★★
Now it works on Linux.
Some years ago I tried to find web-extension as alternative to FireGestures and now it is (not full replace but basic functionality which enough to everyday use). Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13467733, 7 years agoGood extension, has all the gesture functionality that I need although I run into a bit of an issue with opening tabs.
I like all my new tabs to open at the end of the tab row which is achievable by going into about:config and setting browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false. This opens all tabs at the end of the tab row however for some reason when I open new tab from a link via a mouse gesture it doesn't obey this behaviour and instead opens it next to the current tab.
If there was an option for the behaviour that I want that would be excellent. Developer response
posted 7 years agoHey. Unfortunately that is true, it is an api limitation. But that's in the 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 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12889199, 7 years agoReally happy about how this works, other similar extensions were a bit too sensitive when it came to how the gestures were drawn but this has the perfect balance.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13362736, 7 years agoGood extension, beautifull and efficient, work under fedora 27 (ff57) but with the left button, I prefer the right button that's why I have 3 stars
- Rated 5 out of 5by matif525, 7 years agoIt's a nice addon. Here are some features suggests:
1. Add gestures for in/decrease page number.
2. Is it possible to add feature for drag text/image/links to right/left direction for useful command?Developer response
posted 7 years agoIn/decrease page number will be available in the next version.
The second feature is possible, but would take some effort. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12337182, 7 years agoThe Left click option doesn't seem to work on Linux. Because of this it's hard to use things like left click scroll mouse because you almost have to use the middle click (scroll mouse) to active.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13463699, 7 years agoI am a Linux user, setting the middle button as Gesture button is as good as it gets. Easy and intuitive configuration, it does what I need as a former user of FireGestures.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Matthew Miller, 7 years agoI'm giving this three stars because I appreciate the effort and I know it's not the extension-writers' fault. Realistically, though, this is 1 star compared to FireGestures and what we had before.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13360867, 7 years agoBasically, it doesn't work on a Mac. Some success on PC, but if you use a Mac you're out of luck. Don't waste your time.

posted 7 years agoHey, that is a known issue, you can read about that in the addon description. You can use the left or middle mouse button. (Change this in the settings) - Rated 4 out of 5by Ben, 7 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13462133, 7 years agoI updated to this addon when Firefox updated to 57. It certainly is not what I expected. Since I can't use the right mouse button (I'm using Ubuntu) I have to use the left (the middle doesn't work despite what it says). This means I can no longer select text to copy/paste from a webpage. I hope fire gestures updates to work with FF57

- Rated 5 out of 5by jsyemail, 7 years agoone feature missing, i need a function ( close other's tab, just keep current tab )
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe feature is there. Look at "Remove other tabs" -> Remove all tabs except of the current tab and pinned tabs.
Or do you want to close the pinned tabs too?
