シンプルに使い勝手の良いジェスチャー機能が追加されます。 　Android版Firefoxの欠点でもある、前後のページへの遷移、ページ最上部・最下部への移動に手間が掛かる問題を解決できる点は大きな評価点です。 　また、地味ながらジェスチャー中に現在の状態を確認できたり、タイムアウトが用意されていたり、ジェスチャーサイズを調整できたりと、細かいところに手が届いています。 　なお、利用する際にはFirefox側の『プルダウンで更新』をオフにして、こちらの拡張機能で更新用のジェスチャーを用意すると利便性が上がるかと思います。

useful and well-implemented add-on. Finally gifts FF-Androud users a nice UI experience, after Moz decided to cripple the UI some years ago. Why does it need clip-board access though?
