Mouse Gesture Events

Control your browser faster and easier with gestures using mouse movement.

What is Mouse Gesture Events?

'Mouse Gesture Events' is a Firefox add-on that enhances browser navigation by transforming mouse movement into a set of specific tasks. With this extension, directional movement transforms into browser events like opening, closing, refreshing tabs, and navigating history, among others. This makes it faster and easier to control your browser without relying on traditional clicking. It's particularly useful for Linux/Mac users, as a double right click opens the context menu.
