Thanks, this works like a charm...would be great if we had an option to remap the gestures though ;-)
Update :
Installed 1.3a1 and remap gestures is working perfectly...I see a bug though, if there is only one tab open, "closing tab" gesture doesn't work in that case...
Otherwise all gestures works, including "new tab"

Also a little request, new tab gesture opens "about:blank" but it would be better if it opens "about:home" instead as this would give direct access to bookmarks at the same time ;-)

Thanks again for this great new addon
ps: do you have an email where we can report bugs and so on?

Update 2:
Just installed 1.4a2, closing tab now works when there only one tab open...also gestures are snappier or it might be a placebo effect ;-)
I saw that you mentioned Quick Gestures in the your addon description yes indeed it was a great addon (used it for years) but it stopped working when Firefox updated to Skia library for content rendering with Firefox v51.0.2... The dev from that addon is gone (last update was in 2014) maybe you should take over where he left off ;-)

Update 3:
Well close tab gesture on only one tab worked fine right after updating the addon to 1.4a2 but it stopped working once again, so still buggy I guess ;-)

Ok, I fixed it at version 1.3a1
Pleaze check "About this Add-on" or wait version 1.3 is signed.
thanks.

Update:
﹥if there is only one tab open, "closing tab" gesture doesn't work in that case...

Thank you for bug report.
I try.
I'm sorry if can't fix it.

﹥Also a little request, new tab gesture opens "about:blank" but it would be better if it opens "about:home" ...

i think so too, but "Webextensions" can't open "about:home" or "about:newtab".
thx.

Update2:
hmm.... i didn't change the closing process.
It may be there are some conditions.

Update3:
I finally fixed "closing tab" at version 1.7 !

It updated 8 minutes ago, totally messes scrolling on Android phone. Five stars when fixed. Disabled it to be able to use Firefox.

EDIT: Seems to be fixed,thank you

I am so sorry!
I think it's fixed in 3.34.1, but if it doesn't work, I'll overwrite it with the version 3.33.2!

I like this extension. In the new version description it says “New: Support 2 or more fingers” but I can’t find this feature. I would like to set two finger touch to open a link in a new tab like safari on ipados. Is this possible? I a using double right now for this. So where is this 2 finger support?
Edit: Thank You. You added the feature I was looking for

Oh, sorry.
I supported two-finger swipes, but forgot to support two-finger taps.
Might take some time.

I create a new issue.

(But 2 or more fingers double-tap is not yet supported.)

thank you for your review.

Please add gesture for switching tabs. And maybe add two finger swipes.

> Please add gesture for switching tabs.
The API provided by Firefox is unstable, but you can use it by turning on “Enable experimental features” on the settings page.

> And maybe add two finger swipes.
Sorry, it will take some time to work on this.
I'll add it to the issues list.

useful and well-implemented add-on. Finally gifts FF-Androud users a nice UI experience, after Moz decided to cripple the UI some years ago.
Why does it need clip-board access though?
Odgovor razvijalca

This needs clip-board access though for custom gestures (=user script).
I will summarize the permissions.
Thank you for your review

I done. (see About Extensions)

It's a useful extension but there's one issue. If you have one tab open and you close it with a gesture, that tab freezes. It doesn't open the homepage.

Very nice extension! Thank you so much for this.

I would love for there to be a gesture for saving the current webpage as a bookmark.

Sorry, Firefox for Android does not support the Bookmarks API for add-ons.😢
Thank you for your review.

Very nice addon, I would continue to use it if all of the notifications including timeouts could be hidden.

I fixed to hide the timeouts when 'Diaplay Command' is disabled in v3.12.2.
Thank you for your review.

It'll do just about whatever you want it to. Reaching out to dev to request edge swipe support. Would provide just a bit more for my purposes.
