User Reviews
Users praise Simple Gesture for Android for reliable pull-to-refresh, smoother mobile navigation, and a clean, intuitive UI, often calling it a top mobile extension. However, reviews commonly request two-finger gesture support, report occasional update-related glitches, and note that hiding notifications/timeouts or clipboard-access permissions would improve privacy and UX. Pros
- Delivers reliable pull-to-refresh and reduces unintended refreshes, outperforming Firefox's built-in option.
- Intuitive, clean UI with easy-to-understand gesture configuration and good overall UX.
- Significantly improves mobile navigation and tab/page management on Android Firefox, enhancing daily browsing.
- High user satisfaction and strong positive sentiment, with reviewers calling it a favorite/GOAT mobile extension.
Cons
- Two-finger (or multi-finger) gesture support is missing and frequently requested by users.
- Some users report update-related issues (e.g., scrolling glitches) affecting usability.
- Notifications/timeouts are not easily hidable, and clipboard-access permissions raise privacy concerns for some users.

Is Simple Gesture for Android 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.
Simple Gesture for Android requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details

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.
Simple Gesture for Android has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
