I'm really surprised that A) this isn't default in-built functionality and B) that the way to enable this feature seems to be this little 110 user extension? Perhaps there's something I'm missing but, if not, then 5 starts for making this work! (do have the niggling feeling that I am missing something though, if this really wasn't possible in native, wouldn't this ext have more users 😅). Either way: it works! So ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Works on Firefox Windows 11 arm64

Thank you for providing such a great functionality!

It would be better if I can turn off the gesture that I don't want to use.

This app is really useful and I like it. I wish I could turn of the refresh function though. I dont need it and it is so annoying that websites refresh when you just want so scroll up.
Can't this be optional?

Works great on my Lenovo Yoga 11 Gen 6. Why this isn't built-in to Firefox when the code is so short is beyond me. Hats off to the developer.

Using this on a surface tablet, works perfectly. The animation helps you to not activate the swipe action by accident.

Can use some improvement

1. Settimeout maybe 300ms after page load? So it won't accidentally move forward or backward in an empty page?

2. lock the vertical scrolling when showing forward/backward animation

3. show(or not) animation based on the history

4. Don't trigger when more than one finger detected, maybe a 10ms window for detection?

refresh swipe is too sensitive to the point of being unusable

It's a great find for any person who wants to benefit the full potential of a touchscreen.
Seems to be the only viable option, too.
I would really not want to break the five star rating of this marvelous extension; but as another user has mentioned, it is a bit too sensitive. Especially the refresh swipe/gesture, which does give one a tough time when the only desire is to scroll down.
It would be great to have a settings page, in which one could somehow customize the gestures/swipes.

11/21/2024 update:
I believe I have narrow down the bug:
The backward will trigger if i use touch screen immediately after a page is loaded, no matter the gesture. If i wait for a second so the page is fully loaded this won't happen.

This add-on seems to work as expected and add touch screen back and forth with single finger swipe to Firefox on Linux. It even shows an arrow for confirmation when you start swiping just like on Google Chrome.

Tested on Fedora Gnome, Microsoft Surface Go 2 Core m3.
