A very compact and easy to use mouse gesture handler. To make a gesture, hold down the right mouse button and drag, then release.
Gesture Navigation Long Up : Open a New Tab Up : Goto Top of Page Left : Go Back Right : Go Forward Down : Goto Bottom of Page Long Down : Close Tab Link Gestures Up : Open in a New Tab Down : Open in a Background Tab
No configuration required, just load and go! For more information and more options go to the Homepage.

Why do we need another mouse gesture extension? It seems that there used to be a handful of Mouse Gesture extensions for Mozilla products, but lately they have dwindled down to about one. While FireGestures can be configured to do almost anything, I don't like its philosophy at all, so I wrote microGesture. I believe that mouse gestures are only really useful for the most common tasks of the browser, especially, forward and backward navigation. I also added top and bottom of page as well since they are intuitive and handy gestures and open and close tab. About the only other common task I perform when browsing is following links, so I added gestures that intelligently respond to links and allow you to take control of where they open: in a new tab, or in a background tab. Using more complicated gestures is no easier than right clicking to get a context menu plus they're a pain to remember.
Tabs opened with microGesture will return to the opening tab when they are closed. Provided you don't click a different tab in the meantime. It's a Firefox bug that clicking a different tab causes FF to forget the relationship between tabs...
