by Firefox user 15565784, 4 years agoAhhh, finally a touch pad swipe feature (even if it's under a form of extension) on firefox. I hope an UI indicator will be added in the future updates.

- Rated 5 out of 5by FIREF0XER, 3 years agoReally like this Firefox extension a lot. It's good to have back this functionality.
Just wish this great addon was unnecessary (because back/forward site pages navigation & navigation through parent/sub-folders on your PC was still a touchpad gestures choice option). - Rated 4 out of 5by Joaco, 3 years agoSo far it works! And the fact that it's open source is a breather.
If only I could swipe forward after entering ''Firefox's Main Tab'' I would rate it 5/5. - Rated 5 out of 5by pixel, 3 years agoVery good! I think it would be better if there is an animation.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Petr, 3 years agoElegantly written, small and doesn't track you! Works very nicely. One thing though: when you zoom in on the page and a horizontal scrollbar appears, the page goes back when I scroll the page horizontally. So I'd add if the user has scrolled the horizontal scrollbar all the way to allow gestures in that direction.

- Rated 5 out of 5by silastjensen, 4 years agoThis addon just WORKS. It is completely incomprehensible for me how Mozilla has not yet added trackpad gestures for navigation in Firefox. Hello, it is 2021. ALL other browsers has this basic ability. I tried SwipeToNavigate but it always goes back two pages when you swipe - which renders it useless. A big thank you to the developer of this simple but life saving addon. The ability of adjusting sensitivity is also very nice.
- Rated 5 out of 5by olly, 4 years agoThis is the only one of these add-ons that has worked for me without constantly missing my swipes or by going back two tabs every time I swipe. THANK YOU FOR THIS! Definitely agreed with other reviewers that a small reactive animation would make this perfect but thank you for this regardless!! Having sensitivity control is a godsend. One thought I had was that it might make things feel a little better if there was a bit more velocity to things? Swiping faster on OSX for example vs slower triggers the back page faster like you were swiping a page in a book. Being able to control that in settings would be important but it was just a thought! I'm not a programmer lol. A privacy guarantee would also be nice.

posted 4 years agoThank you for the review.
I have added a "Privacy policy", in short, the code does not contain anything that tracks you!
Animations is the next planned feature. - Rated 3 out of 5by rmet, 4 years agoSome sort of animation would be helpful - in Chrome, it'll show when you're pulling the page a little bit and then change the indicator when you've pulled enough to navigate. This extension has no indicator, and I think it would benefit from one. I'll keep looking.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16511079, 4 years agoThis plug-in is really very good, but it's too sensitive, even on its least-sensitive setting. For me, this makes it a bit frustrating to use. I'm going to disable it for now, but I won't remove it. I'll check back for future updates.

posted 4 years agoNoticed this as well on a secondary laptop, will add a fix which enables a wider sensitivity adjustment.
Thanks for the review! - Rated 4 out of 5by Albert1919810, 4 years agoGreat stuff! But could you please add a swiping indicator similar to the chromium browsers in the future?
Developer response
posted 4 years agoThanks for the review! Animations, preferably like Firefox in OSX, is planned to be added in the next update. - Rated 4 out of 5by mlr, 4 years agoGreat!! maybe could you add sensitivity adjustment? (sometimes I swipe back by mistake)
Developer response
posted 4 years agoThanks for the review and yes, will add this in the next update!
Edit: Sensitivity adjustment added to v1.2! - Rated 1 out of 5by Jean, 4 years agoIt does not work for forward. I have to click on the forward button then it works for forward, but not anymore for backward and so on... I am prone to support firefox, but com'on. How this major feature isn't this originally integrated, and then I have to look for an ad on which does not work. I wellcomeback chrome with sadness...
Following the answer from the developer:
Well thank you for reading my bottle. I was already back on my Google monitored island. It is possible I had some sort of the same problem as the previous reviewer described. But to be fair I did not really undertood it... All I can say is that back then I had to clic on the "backward, forward" area to make it work, much too frequently to be usefull. Now it unfortunatly does not work at all...
Ps: it works fine with Chrome and Microsoft edge. I am using a Huewai Matebook D14.Developer response
posted 4 years agoIt should work for navigating forward as well as backwards. Could you have the issue described by the previous reviewer?
I agree that this should be originally integrated in Firefox! - Rated 5 out of 5by Benedolt, 4 years agoBackward swipe works nicely! Forward swipe only works when the back button is available. Once "back" is grayed out swiping forward doesn't work.
//edit: Now it seems to work. It probably was my mistake. Thank you!Developer response
posted 4 years agoTrying to replicate this but for me it is working.
The add-on is not working on the "New Tab" page, is that what is happening for you?
What works for me:
1. Open a bookmark
2. Click on a link
3. Swipe back
4. "Back" arrow is now greyed out
5. Swipe forward = works
