Mouse gestures for Firefox. A web extension alternative to FireGestures created by a long time FireGestures user.
Foxy Gestures: Powerful Mouse Gestures for Firefox
Foxy Gestures is a Firefox add-on inspired by FireGestures, granting users extensive mouse gesture options. Offering gesture implementation using left, middle, or right button, along with wheel and chord gestures, the extension equips its users with configurable mapping and the ability to add new commands. It also extends support for customizable gesture timeout, trails, and status text during gestures. However, due to Web Extension APIs limitations, this add-on, as powerful as it is, cannot integrate into about:newtab, about:home, etc., or operate on addons.mozilla.org.
