NaviTouch Firefox

NaviTouch

By: em_te
Shows a floating button which you can use to navigate the current webpage and tabs.

Features & Capabilities

What: For touch screen users only. Press on the NaviTouch button (grey circle) with your finger to pop open the menu. Simply slide your finger to the nearest action you want to perform to automatically invoke that action.

Actions include:

  • Scroll to the top of the page
  • Focus previous tab
  • Focus next tab
  • Create a new tab
  • Navigate back in history
  • Close the current tab

You can optionally move the grey circle to any of the 4 corners of the screen.

Why: When using touch screens, anything at the very top of the screen is hard to reach with your finger. The difficulty is compounded by the need to touch the tiny "X" to close a tab or the tiny "+" to open a new tab.

With this extension, it make accessing those 2 frequent functions easier by taking advantage of the ease at which gestures or swipes can be performed with your finger.

Permission disclosure: This extension needs permission to modify the contents of your webpage because the NaviTouch button added to the webpage area.

User Reviews

Invaluable on touchscreen 2n1 laptop. Seems to be anchored to page rather than the view, so disappears if page is zoomed. Would be nice to be able to change order of buttons or remove some.

very fancy concept, but none of the functions are useful. navigating tabs works fine already. Instead, reopening closed tabs, setting bookmarks, searching bookmarks, pinning tabs, unpinning tabs, opening containers and more would be useful

Quite intuitive, fun and works smoothly

Is NaviTouch 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.

NaviTouch requires a few sensitive permissions. 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.
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.

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