New "Swipe" Feature removes 'forward/backward in new tab' ability #58

Closed NHDaly closed 11 years ago

Hi, the default Firefox option with FireGestures disabled, is that Three-Finger Swipe to the Left/Right with command held down will navigate backward/forward but open it in a new tab. This exactly mirrors the functionality of holding command and clicking the back/forward arrows.

As of the Version 1.7 update, this no longer works. I believe FireGestures is overriding the default behavior and misses this feature. Unchecking the "Swipe Gestures" feature in preferences, then, completely removes swipe functionality altogether, rather than reverting to the firefox default.

My request is twofold: I think that swipe left/right should incorporate the command-held-down new tab feature, and I think that unchecking the "Swipe Gestures" box should revert to Firefox defaults, but then if you want to disable swipes, "no action" should be a possible option under each of the four swipes (currently "..." seems to do this correctly).

Thank you for the consideration! :)
