Thread: FireFox vs IE

How is that "revolutionary" ?

Many mouse drivers have had gesture recognition (including Microsoft's!) for years. And since it's done at the driver level, the same gesture can apply OS-wide.

For example, I have a gesture for close window. It works at the browser and at every other application. If you want to improve your workflow, it *must* be consistant.

That's interesting, because my dekstop environment (KDE) also has a keyboard and mouse gestures system that can apply globally. I just haven't had a chance to take full advantage of it yet. I have some gestures set for Konqueror and Firefox, and they seem to work better in Firefox than the Firefox gestures extension. With the extension, gestures don't seem to work well when Firefox is busy loading webpages, but with the global KDE gestures, it "accepts" the gesture much more often. I don't know if that makes sense or not.

I do have my choice of useful Firefox extensions, though.

Yup. KDE has gestures. But then, back at 0.90 kernel when I first started working on contributing, there were mouse drivers that had gesture recognition too.

And I have my choice of extensions for IE as well.

FEEDBACK people...the feedback forum is for feedback.

OK, for me it was
just check the amount of actions available by this addon..... i doubt a system-wide gestures driver can be that specific.
