Random Firefox Extension Rec #2: FireGestures

[clevin]

Last time I recommended https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/406976/ Speed Dial.

Today, a new extension: FireGestures. Im sure many users already know MouseGestures extension, It allows you to click and drag your mice to draw in the browser window to operate the browser, backward, forward. new window/tab, reload, home, bookmark, next tab, close window etc, etc. unfortunately, it is only available for firefox 2.0.x.

FireGestures (ver 1.1) is the now compatible with firefox 2-3.0beta5 and latest nightly "3.0pre"

to install: http://www.xuldev.org/firegestures/develop.php

You can also customize the gestures as you wish.

One cool feature of this is that you can enable (which is enable by default) the mice trail, and know exactly what gesture you just did. lol

If you are using Firefox b3 or recent nightly build, the addon searching function is builtin to your addon manager, you can search for Firegestures through there.

My fav gestures

left => backword
right => forward
up => refresh
down=>close tab
left-right=>new tab
up-left=> previous tab
up-right => next tab
left-up=>scroll to top of the page
left-down=> scroll tp bottom of the page
counterclock circle=>gesture options
clockwise circle (personally defined) =>home

version 1.1 is almost ready. You can goto author's homepage http://www.xuldev.org/firegestures/develop.php and install it

most significant fix is that it will NOT break inline spellchecking in Lin/OSX anymore

Great extension, strongly suggest mice ppl try out.

What I miss most about this add-on is the "open all links in new tabs" feature from the All-in-one-Gesture
