Summary

If you are using Linux or macOS: open about:config and set ui.context_menus.after_mouseup to true. Otherwise, the context menu will show up before the extension can detect the gesture.

To make a gesture, hold the right mouse button, move the mouse and release the button.

Gestures:

  • Down: open a new tab
  • Down → Right: close the tab
  • Down → Up: duplicate the tab
  • Left: go to previous page
  • Right: go to next page
  • Up → Down: reload the page
  • Up: stop page loading
The extension doesn't work on restricted pages like addons.mozilla.org
User reviews
Installed this because Foxy Gestures stopped working for some reason, this extension just works. Wish it would draw a line when you make the gesture, but it's ok as it is.
