What is Joystick?
Joystick is a Firefox add-on that enables you to control your browser using an on-screen joystick specifically designed for touch-screen devices such as tablets. Toggle the joystick sidebar to reveal the joystick and customize its four directions to perform various actions like opening new tabs, focusing on different tabs, navigating history, muting tabs, and more. You can also touch anywhere near the joystick to perform the same actions. The add-on also provides the option to change the theme color to black and allows you to add multiple joysticks. Some permissions are required for certain functionalities. Make browsing more convenient and intuitive with Joystick!
