Native mouse gestures on desktop

[wyvorn]

Please implement native mouse gestures in the desktop browser (I am personally on Windows) like in Opera. The current implementations from add-ons are very unreliable, finicky or don't work at all in some placed, e.g. in a New tab, Settings, while the mouse is over a video (in YT, for example) etc. Thank you for considering it.

We used to have Fire Gestures

and while I understand the limitations behind Content Script injection we should be able to expand the permissions for extensions we trust, that would take care of like 95% of frustration of WebExtensions implemented gestures, surely some would still be there (being limited to the viewport, having to run and sync multiple instances across multiple frames), but that would be a great improvement

Add mouse gestures

I Like it in opera gx/one

Mouse gestures are so instinctively ingrained in how I navigate.

This is literally the only missing feature keeping me from using Firefox as my daily driver.

Native gestures which works in system tabs are the only thing why I cannot move from my current web browser to Firefox.

Microsoft Edge has this as a native feature.

I'd love to see this as a native feature.

Mouse gestures that work on any page.
I need this.

I use vivaldi for mouse gestures that work on any page.
However, vivaldi is very unstable.
I would gladly migrate to firefox if it was included in firefox.

Another "I haven't switched because I'd miss gestures" from my part. I've been a long time Opera and then Vivaldi user, and given the impending manifest v3 (that might or might not affect Vivaldi), I'm contemplating a switch.

[Skywind]

I strongly support this idea. Edge has this built-in gesture, and it works all across the whole browser. This experience is not something that can be matched by a third-party extension. Let's make it happening, dear Mozilla!

[suikaz]

correction: the experience could be matched if we had an API for that, though I'm assuming privacy and security concerns cause it to be unlikely to surface (though I still believe that extensions we intentionally install should be able to do so, even if we'd need to go to the settings and manually enable that ability)

was using gestures on old opera presto (before it became chropera), now on vivaldi, and i wan't to switch to firefox, but lack of native support stops me.
