Mouse Commander von tumpio

An extension to map mouse button events to common browser actions.

Important: This extension requires installation of a client
application for listening mouse button events and messaging them to the
extension by using Native Messaging Firefox Extension API. Non-native mouse listener add-ons do not work on sites that are not fully loaded, sites that are privileged (e.g. about:newtab) and are unable to catch mouse events outside of displayed web page (i.e. not working on top of browser UI). With native client, it's possible to use mouse actions everywhere without these limiting factors.

See releases for installing a client application for your OS.
