You can also configure how many fingers are required to perform gestures in case 2 fingers is too easy to accidentally activate.
You can also configure how long the fingers need to travel (in pixels) before a gesture is recognized. The default is 110 pixels which is suitable for medium-sized devices.
You don't need to lift your fingers at the end for the gesture to recognize. Just keep moving them in the desired direction and once it reaches the threshold the gesture will activate automatically.
You can practice your gestures in the demo page that opens up when installed and when you click on the toolbar icon. If the toolbar icon isn't visible, you may need to customize the Firefox toolbar to add it to the toolbar.
