Mouse Gestures

Post by ©LarryEº »

Is anyone going to update the add in for mouse gestures?

Thanks.

Well it works with Firefox 2... Since you are using Firefox 3.0b4 I am going to move you to the Builds forum. There are a couple of things to keep in mind.

1) Firefox 3 is not at a officially completed release yet.
2) Most add-ons will not be updated until Firefox 3 is officially released. This is because there are always changes going on within the test builds of Firefox.
3) There is a compatible version of Mouse Gestures for Firefox test builds.

From this page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/39

is this link: http://www.mousegestures.org/nightly.html

Try Mouse Gestures Redox. Works for versions 3b3 and 3b4.

Thanks, just installed it and it works. I'm beginning to like Firefox more and more.

Personally I find the newer FireGestures to be much better, very small and everything seems much snappier. I've previously used AIO and MouseGestures but find this new one much nicer.

I don't know what is going wrong, but I get the message that FireGestures is not compatible with 3.0Beta4. Am I just missing something?

I have Nightly Tester Tools installed so when I hit a new jump in FF3 version numbers and it disables all my add-ons I just click the "Make all compatible" button in Nighly test tools so I guess I don't see this problem much :)

Update: Larry, v1.0.5 out today which I think will be immediately compatible for you :)

Fredlkrue, no problem, I also prefer to use a tool that is better supported and updated, this one seems to run that bit faster to me, I only use a few simple gestures for closing the tab I'm reading and closing the browser, don't need tons of other features.

Generally they're simliar in features, I've tried FireGestures and found a problem: it doesn't cooperate well with [Ext]"Nextplease", as even I managed to add Nextplease/Prevplease etc into user scripts, they cannot be assigned as rocker gestures, whereas I prefer rocker right/left for Next/Prev links.

Still I fallback to Mouse Gestures Redox (nightly)..

Fedorov, thank you very much for that link. Have it installed and it "appears" to be working correctly. LOL I guess I will find out as I test more.

I also use like 5-6 gestures thats all, and indeed it seems a lot faster :)

Now that 3.0 Beta 5 is out, anyone going to update the Mouse Gesture Add-ins?

While the Fire Gestures version hasn't been updated for F3B5, it works fine for me in F3B5.

You just have to set your browser extension compatibility to accept "old" addons ---
Enter in your address bar about:config and then add "extensions.checkCompatibility" as a boolean type with its value set to false. If already present, toggle its value to false.

Sorry, but that doesn't work. Follow your directions exactly and still can't install it. Any other ideas?
