Add-on 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.

  • 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

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.
