- Rated 5 out of 5by YellHeah, 13 days agoI picked this up a while ago and forgot about it. I just rediscovered it by accidentally entering the gesture to open its settings, and GOTTDANG I'M SO GLAD I DID.
This is my new favorite mobile extension!! It wouldn't be if Mobile had a good tab manager, or tree-style-tabs... but it doesn't, so Simple Gesture is the GOAT!
I'm making most of my programmed gestures vaguely reminiscent of Latin capital letters, so they're easier to remember. The programming and understanding is so beautifully easy to understand, and the settings menu covers everything it needs to and not an inch more. It's good UX design at it's purest.
Also I'm rubbing my hands together and giggling as I consider getting back into JavaScript to take advantage of the Custom Commands feature hidden at the bottom~ >:) - Rated 5 out of 5by MothOnFIre, 2 months agoIs there a way to require the gesture to be from the edge of the screen? It pops up when I use a gesture, but I can't find a way to require it.
Edit: thank you for the quick response!Developer response
posted 2 months agoYou can ignore the square shown in the popup and draw the gesture starting from the edge of the screen — that will work.
(The popup design hasn’t been updated to clearly indicate edge gestures yet, so it can be a bit confusing...) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19490321, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Arshia, 6 months agoI like this extension. In the new version description it says “New: Support 2 or more fingers” but I can’t find this feature. I would like to set two finger touch to open a link in a new tab like safari on ipados. Is this possible? I a using double right now for this. So where is this 2 finger support?
Edit: Thank You. You added the feature I was looking forDeveloper response
posted 6 months agoOh, sorry.
I supported two-finger swipes, but forgot to support two-finger taps.
Might take some time.
I create a new issue.

v3.30 supports it.
(But 2 or more fingers double-tap is not yet supported.)

- Rated 5 out of 5by krix, a year agouseful 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?Developer response
posted a year agoThis needs clip-board access though for custom gestures (=user script).
I will summarize the permissions.
Thank you for your review

I would love for there to be a gesture for saving the current webpage as a bookmark.Developer response
posted 2 years agoSorry, Firefox for Android does not support the Bookmarks API for add-ons.😢

- Rated 5 out of 5by Whatzet2U, 2 years agoIt'll do just about whatever you want it to. Reaching out to dev to request edge swipe support. Would provide just a bit more for my purposes.
