Sweet FireFox Extension

[B3NKobe]

Mouse Gestures:
Allows you to execute common commands (like page forward/backward, close tab, new tab) by mouse gestures drawn over the current webpage, without reaching for the toolbar or the keyboard. You can also use click-only "rocker" gestures which are even faster than drawn gestures.

EDIT: This is sweet as!! At first its weird and will take some getting used to but its so much easier to browse the web than moving the mouse upto the back and forward buttons and, closing firefox is easy to with it. I changed the settings on mine so that it works on a normal left button mouse click, and it doesnt affect anything when im clicking links etc, its pretty awsom!!

Nice! but I don't know how much quicker it would be

Trust me, get it, and its alot quicker when browsing, if i want to go back a page, i simple click and drag left and release, If I want to close FF I simply draw a quick 'L' shape and FF closes, theres alot more differnt functions also...

I've had this extension for a few months, and I find it to be pretty useful, especially for viewing the meta info about a page.

Ha-ha-ha-ha!
You Firefox monkeys heartily amuse me. Opera has had this feature for so long, I don't even remember when I started using it, but it was surely over a year ago, probably even more.
I can hardly function in a browser without using mouse gestures.

You ALL amuse me :D

Get StrokeIT (http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/). You can use mouse gestures for ALL applications and make custom gestures.

I have been using this for years, and it definitely increases productivity.

I use gestures for FF... trust i have all the killer extensions....

[pou-pou]

Haha :D

I found it a little while ago, but didn't try it. I'm so going to give it a shot. I'ts sooo fun, at least for now :D

Welcome to last year :P
I've been using 'All in One Gestures' in FF for ages and it is really handy & quick. Especially since I use a tablet, it's just an effortless flick in whichever direction.

[wizard]

I've been using it for a while too! I feel special. :pleased:

Really, the only gesture I use is the Back one. :crazy:

[ya3]

Meh. I only use a few, too.
Back
Forward
Stop (down)
Refresh (down+right)
Close All Other Tabs ('C'-shape)

:D

[hl]

i'm going to be closing and stuff, way to often... i'm not going to try this

[tucker]

i don't get the numbers :-\ but this is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[love police]

i use the backspace key

[cigar]

Looks good fun :).

[jandebouwman]

can you make a custom command for every action?

[ya3]

can you make a custom command for every action?
yes. and there are A LOT of actions...

[jandebouwman]

then you have a lot to learn by heart

i've had this for about 3 days but i'm so used to doing stuff manually i forget so i don't think its gonna help me much.

[foodpk]

Trust me you get used to it.
I'm really surprised some people have found out about mouse gestures only now. I will refrain from advertising Opera because I people generally don't like it when we Opera monkeys speak the universal truth :P.
I use back, forward, close tab, new tab, parent directory (really useful), refresh and some others too.

I personally like Adblock (http://adblock.mozdev.org/) (Slashdot is 10x better without those annoying M$ ads everywhere ;)) and Greasemonkey (http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/) (basically lets you write snippets of JavaScript that run when a page is loaded, think infinite customizability for every web page on Earth and you've got it) :)

[wizard]

I like Adblock... comes in very handy.

And I think most people knew about Opera... it's just, who uses that browser anyway? :P

[Krilnon]

I will refrain from advertising Opera because I people generally don't like it when we Opera monkeys speak the universal truth .

Yeah... like how internet browsers should cost money and have advertisements. I really hate Opera.

I don't use mouse gestures that often... I set mine so I have to use the alt key and a right click because I find myself using right click too often to have it interrupted by mouse gestures.

[Patriotxcountry]

This is a great ext. for me since I am using a tablet pc, far less movement involved.

[cr125rider]

I use the Alt+Arrows a lot, I think it would be faster than this, i would draw on accident an close it or something...

[mwstratton]

wanna talk about a REALLY sweet FF plugin is Aardvark it's got tons of web dev stuff.

I use SHIFT + ScrollWheel for Back and Forward, or ALT + Left and Right, depending on where my right hand happens to be at the time. I love that there are so many ways to navigate in newer browsers.

You ALL amuse me. I just wave my arm around in everyday life, and whatever I want comes true.
