Easy Gestures Extension for Firefox

Easy Gestures is in my opinion one of the best Firefox extensions comparable to great extensions such as Greasemonkey or Adblock Plus. The Easy Gestures extension gives you access to commands that can be performed with mouse gestures, to be more precise with a simple mouse click and click on the desired action. Almost everything can be customized.

It is for instance possible to define the mouse button that opens the primary and secondary menu, the amount of actions that are shown (8 or 10), the opacity of the menu and of course the type of actions that are performed. Instead of using the default actions that are shown in the screenshot below you could edit the actions to make them suit your needs.

You can basically add any action that can also be added to a Firefox toolbar: Save Pages or Images, Open Urls, load scripts, use queries, zoom in and out and much more. Another important feature are the contextual menus that change the gestures when hovering above a link or image for example.

Everything can be customized which is really incredible. You can even start external programs with the extension !
