Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 17224455, 2 years agoIt's a little strange to get used, but when you do, browsing is so much more comfortable. Check under the "Extras" tab when you open the Gesturfy settings page to turn on mousewheel tab switching. It makes moving through my 50 tabs much less annoying. I have changed the color of the line it draws to match my firefox theme.
And I would love to see an optional command "simmulate key press" because another extension I use, Sideberry, can be opened and closed by pressing F1.
In my opinion, there is only one fault with this. Limited visual customisation of the line drawn, and perhaps some font options in the gesture description box, heck maybe some box styles too. Glowing effects, some really simple particle effects etc.
But that is a very subjective issue, and really enjoy using it.
Thanks Gesturfy!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberknight, 2 months agoI've used this extension since its early days. I'd tried others, but this has evolved a better interface. I have one suggestion: when a conflicting (ambiguous) gesture is found (two equal gestures for different actions), the extension tries the older action first, then tries the next. That could be an actual feature: same gestures should be executed in the order they appear in the list (the gestures would have to be shown as an ordered list for that), maybe adding a "break" option to stop the execution at a certain gesture (e.g., a single gesture could trigger a Save Link and a Save Image, in that order, but if the image was a link, an option could prevent the image from being saved.)

- Rated 5 out of 5by LinusCDE, 3 months agoInitially discovered this feature in Vivaldi and got hooked hard. When I switched to Firefox, it was only thanks to this extension, since I could keep using the gestures I got used to.
I even checked for alternatives and it seems this extension for Firefox is the best one. You can't seemingly do this consistently on Chrome (on Linux at least).
If you love the back swipe gesture on touchpads, this is basically the same but for a mouse (even faster imo). No need setting up very complex gestures. Just as simple back gesture alone makes this extension worth everything.
Personally I use the back gesture (swipe left with mouse right button) and close + restore tab mostly. Though you can add pretty much everything imaginable which I love! - Rated 4 out of 5by R136a1, 3 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14716474, 3 months agoThere is one inconvenience, when used for the gesture of the right mouse button, the context menu opens, there is no such problem in the “chrome” browser with this addition. Please make the context menu does not appear with a firefox when it is not needed.
