Mouse gestures allow you to control your browser by drawing virtual gestures on screen with
the mouse. This is an extremely useful feature and was originally introduced by the Opera
browser. FireGestures is one of these must-have FireFox add-ons.

Gesture example to close down the current tab:
- hold right mouse button pressed
- move down, move right
- release button
How to install:
- In FireFox go to 'Add-Ons Manager', 'FireGestures', click 'Options' button
- Go to the 'Mapping' tab and click 'Add Script'
- Enter a name and paste my script's code
- Enter suggested gesture in plain text (eg. UDLR for up-down-left-right)
or record your own gesture by drawing in that big grey field.
To do that hold right mouse, draw the gesture, and release right mouse.
- Click 'OK' and repeat for other scripts
- When done click 'OK' to close options. Gestures are now ready to be used.
Scripts tested on Firefox 4 with FireGestures 1.6.4.
