Installation
Mouse Gestures v1.5 - Key Features:
-
Customizable gesture mappings: You can easily choose which gesture
triggers which action. There is no need to type in codes, just click
"Recognize" and do the gesture you want!
-
Unlimited set of functions: Besides over 60 built-in gesture
functions, you can add your own. With a little knowledge of JavaScript, you
can create a gesture that does exactly what you want. Everything that you
can do via menus or toolbar buttons can be done with a gesture!
-
Easy gesture sharing: With special links placed on web pages,
everyone can import gesture mappings and new functions, and everyone can
publish their own. Visit Gesture
Exchange to see some examples.
-
Bookmark gestures: Create a gesture that opens any of your bookmarks
- in the current tab/window, a new tab or window, or the sidebar. Just click
the "Gesture" button in a bookmark's properties window to define a gesture
for it.
-
Sidebar that helps you learn: Mouse Gestures includes a Firefox
sidebar that displays drawings that show you how to make each gesture, and
offers shortcuts to settings and web pages via the context menu. After
installing, press Ctrl-Shift-O or drag the Mouse Gestures Guide button to
your Firefox toolbar.
-
Wheel rockers: Hold down a mouse button and scroll the mouse wheel to
trigger an action of your choice - for example, resizing images/text or
quickly switching tabs.
-
Unmatched compatibility: Regardless whether you use Windows or Linux,
whether you're using Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, the Mozilla Suite or
Chatzilla - Mouse Gestures are there. (It may even run on other operating
systems*.)

New since 1.0.x
-
The sidebar now contains dynamically generated drawings of all configured
gestures to help you with learning. Via a context menu, you have direct
access to the extension's settings and web pages.
-
Completely new system for bookmark gestures - you are no longer limited
to bookmarks with keywords, and can also choose whether to open the bookmark
in the current tab/window, a new tab or window, or the sidebar.
-
When going back or forward with a rocker gesture, you can hold the first
mouse button and click the second button multiple times (applies to Windows
only). Previously, you had to release both buttons first.
-
Mouse trails are now drawn natively on Windows, which greatly improves
performance and avoids interfering with gesture recognition.
-
The extension now provides a printable list of gestures.
-
Added Dutch and Slovak translations.
