About this extension
Read the addon description below before installing! There are web extension limitations compared to FireGestures.

This addon requires a lot of permissions because it automates as many Firefox commands as possible. For more information, read https://github.com/marklieberman/foxygestures/wiki/Why-Permissions-Are-Required

Starting with FF58 and FG1.1.0 the OSX/Linux right-click issue is resolved.

-----

This addon implements mouse gestures for Firefox and is heavily inspired by FireGestures. Foxy Gestures currently implements a large amount of FireGestures functionality:

  • Mouse gestures using left, middle, or right button.
  • Configurable gesture mapping with many built-in commands.
  • Implement new commands with user provided scripts.
  • Configurable gesture timeout and gesture trails.
  • Status text during gestures with customizable styles.
  • Wheel gestures using gesture button + wheel.
  • Chord gestures with configurable chords.

Unfortunately, there are many limitations due to limited or absent Web Extension APIs. As a web extension, this add-on will never be as powerful as FireGestures. This extension cannot integrate into about:newtab, about:home, view-source:, etc. Nor will it work on addons.mozilla.com, since web extensions are forbidden from interacting with the add-on store. Mouse gestures don't work until the DOM has parsed.
