MOUSE GESTURES is an add-on to Mozilla’s Firefox browser.
As its name suggests, this add-on lets you perform certain browser functions, like scrolling, zooming and opening new page tabs, by drawing specific little squiggles on screen with your mouse pointer – instead of having to drag the cursor up to a tab or scroll bar.
Once you get the hang of it and remember which gesture does what, you can take a few miles off your mouse because you perform whatever action you need right where your cursor is.
There is a visual setting you can use to display a coloured trail of pixels so you can see the gesture you are performing.
You can download and install mouse Gestures1.5.2 for firefox at http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/39.
Once it is installed, you add, delete or edit gestures, adjust the settings and even print out a little chart of gesture patterns to help you learn the moves.
To get to the preferences box in Firefox, go to the Tools menu, then to Add-ons. Scroll down on Mouse Gestures in the list of add-ons and click the options button.
The current version supports Windows and Linux systems, and although there is a Mac OSX edition available, development was stopped with version 1.5 – New York Times Special Features
