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
  • 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

Safety
Risk impact

Mouse Gestures requires a number of risky permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this add-on. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Mouse Gestures if you trust the publisher.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

Mouse Gestures has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.
