Hi,

The new Firefox Developer edition looks awesome. But, you've made the same error as Chrome. When using mouse gestures, they don't work on the default "new tab" or in the setting pages. That kinda kills the meaning of mouse gestures. I know that this might look like a small issue, but it's really an issue that drives me crazy. It worked fine untill this release (57.0b1)

Do you have any solution or is this the end of Firefox for me?

List of mouse gestures I've tried: Foxy Gestures 1.0.8 Gesturefy 1.1.8 Mouse Gesture Events 1.6 smartUp Gestures 5.0.868.727 Basic Gestures 1.2

I sincerely hope that there is a solution to this.

Best regards Andreas

hi, currently the permissions model for webextension prohibits them from accessing functionality in any built-in browser pages. as far as i know there won't be any way around that in the first iteration of webextension apis that ship with firefox 57, but mozilla is generally open to make webextensions more powerful. the forum at https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/add-ons may be a better place to discuss this.
