- by Firefox user 12593937, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Hope to see this addon back on firefox android soon.
- by Firefox user 15314091, a year agoRated 5 out of 5This is a great AddOn for FF on Android - finally it's possible to use Firefox almost as fast as on desktop. Thank you so much!
Two suggestions though:
Can you implement the possibility to block gestures on certain pages in the future? I know I can enable/disable it manually. But I use e.g. https://www.qwant.com/maps/ in the browser quite often, and of course it would be best to disable SG automatically on such pages, where you e.g. push a map around.
Another question: I use 'new tab' gesture very often and it really bugs me that I afterwards have to click once more on top into the address bar to start typing or to even see the default suggestions of firefox. Would it be possible to automatically focus the address bar?
Thanks a lot!Developer response

Ok, I add blacklist in v2.19
(I will improve the input form.)
>Would it be possible to automatically focus the address bar?
Sorry, it is impossible.
Thank you for your review. - by Gabriel Schanuel, a year agoRated 4 out of 5Couldn't get it to work on v68.1
Just as Grumbely said, the page just scrolls.
Where the reck am I supposed do do the gestures?
Edit: extension is blocked in *.mozilla.org
Works great on other sites - by Firefox user 15259983, a year agoRated 2 out of 5「タブを閉じる」に「D-R」を設定していますが反応が非常に悪く5回に1度ぐらいしか成功しません。感度調整をいろいろ試しても変わらず。他のジェスチャーは概ね問題ないのですが、なぜかこの組み合わせだけは相性が悪いようで、初期のバージョンから使っていますが未だにこの現象だけは改善されません。

posted a year ago報告ありがとうございます。
申し訳ありません、調査したところ単純にバグでした。
修正しましたのでバージョン2.17ではなおっているかと思います。
(報告がなかったら一生気づかなかったかも…) - by Grumbely, a year agoRated 1 out of 5Not working as of 68.0.2. Also, there is no explanation anywhere of how to actually use the plugin. The gestures are only listed as strings of letters (such as “D-L-U”) representing cardinal directions (which is not explained, you need to have used similar plug-ins which do explain it) but no explanation of where or how to execute these gestures.

posted a year agoAny add-on of Firefox does not work on some special pages. (e.g. "about:...", "https://support.mozilla.org" and "https://addons.mozilla.org")
I added this to "About this extension".
I am sorry for taking up your time. - by Firefox user 15154464, 2 years agoRated 3 out of 5works perfectly but the setting is gone occassionally for no reason so I have to customize my setting over and over again it really annoying what should I do?
Developer response
posted 2 years agoI'm sorry, it will take some time to investigate.
If settings for other add-ons are gone too, it may be that Firefox profile data is broken. This my be not problem of this add-on.
Anyway, I will add buttons to import/export setting on version 2.15
If there is an error log at the bottom of the setting page on version 2.15.1, please report it.
thank you for your review. Developer response

Best productive add-on for Firefox! - by xin, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5

But the "timeout" setting is not working as intended.
imo the timeout timer should reset it self if the user's finger is still moving
Thus 1000ms timeout means "if the user's finger stop moving for 1 second, stop gesture detection"
The current logic is, however, "I gave you 1 second to finish your gesture, no matter the gesture is super simple that you need to wait 800ms after finished it or it's super complex that you can barely draw half of it in 1 second", this is counter-intuitive.Developer response
posted 2 years agoI fixed it.
(However, if the moving distance is short, it times out.)
Thanks for your review. - by Paweł Kolo, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5How to get it to work that app?
I have Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
Gestures doesn't work in Firefox for me.
Page is scrolling instead when i try to gesture simply left, or right as back & forward. Close, open new, previous or next tab, nothing is working. Can you help?Developer response
posted 2 years agoSorry for replying so late.
Add-on are does not work in some of the specific page.(eg "about:blank", , "about:home", "addons.mozilla.org" ...)
Also this add-on does not work when prevent touch event by javascript of the page you are viewing.
As other causes, this add-on may have a bug... (Sorry, I will not be able to fix it soon.)
thanks.

I could confirm it with my smartphone.
However, I will not be able to fix it soon...
(It may be a bug in the Webextensions API)

When the view is zoomed in, javascript seems to get the wrong touch position and scroll position.
Please wait for firefox is fixed. - by Firefox user 14609548, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5Fantastic addon! Makes Firefox much nicer to use on a big phone. The ability to customize the gestures is great, too.

tanx ❤ - by Firefox user 14524259, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5hi my friend
you can add 'colse special tab'
and user add special url to close
tanx for lovely add on
--------
can you add "close next tab " and "close privous tab" ??
and i don't understand ( p.s.
I planning wrap "browser.tabs.query({});" by "SimpleGesture.getTabs();" )
tanx my friendDeveloper response
posted 2 years agoSorry, that has two probrems.
・Webextensions doesn't work special tab. so, you must open "about:tabs" manually for select other tab. (and, you can close special tab in "about:tabs" manually.)
・Webextensions API sometimes returns "about:blank" instead of actual URL.
thx.
p.s.
I planning wrap "browser.tabs.query({});" by "SimpleGesture.getTabs();" - by Firefox user 13867479, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5add on not work ,need sing

posted 2 years agoDoes "same tab" mean "same url tab" ?
So, how is "Move to an already opened tab" addon.
https://addons.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/addon/move-to-an-already-opened-tab/
This addon prevents to open same url.
thx.
-------------
OK, I add "Close same URL" in version 2.12.
But, Firefox for Android has a bag, so this often does not work well . (╥﹏╥)
