Features & Capabilities

Gesticulate is a work-in-progress add-on that supports rocker gestures to execute common browsing tasks.

Help! This doesn't work on Mac or Linux!

First, make sure you have Firefox 58 or greater. Then go to about:config and set ui.context_menus.after_mouseup to true. This will ensure that when you start a gesture with RMB, you'll be able to complete the gesture instead of being interrupted by the context menu.

Supported Gestures

RMB->LMB: Go back LMB->RMB: Go forward MMB->LMB: Previous tab MMB->RMB: Next tab

Simple and effective. Would be improved if the middle mouse button had the option of refreshing the tab contents with a click.

Works perfectly. The biggest thing missing when coming from Opera/Vivaldi were the rocker gestures. Also not a bloated mess like all the other gesture extensions.

It works like a charm on Linux with FF58! Think to enable new option in about:config and set ui.context_menus.after_mouseup to true

Is Gesticulate Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Gesticulate requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Gesticulate has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
