That's 2 clicks.
Not only do I prefer the keyboard over the mouse, that's twice the input I normally use =P (backspace)
I love the way you can just type in the link and go there in Firefox too

yay
Just wanted to know about possible mouse gestures in Firefox o_O

or
http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/mo ... 20Gestures
It's an extension, and one of the most popular ones. Completely customisable (right down to custom gestures for custom actions)
Firefox 0.9.2 + mouse gestures + adblock = web-browsing nirvana

just tried it
thats mozilla fire-black'n'white
to be honest its totally useless and just takes longer than using the keyboard
only voice control is worse and slower

Hmm, if only we could use brainwaves as input
Eye gestures would be good too, provided you had some way of ignoring regular eye movement (holding a key?)
anyway, thanks plær

use it for a day
It takes a little time for the brain to reprogram. BUT, once you get there, you can never go back. I get pissed off when I use a webbrowser without them.
When you find yourself automatically gesturing in other programs, you have reached the level of dependence
But, it's always up to each individual user, to use them if they like them, or not. And that is what firefox is all about
Well, that and not being a security-hole-ridden piece of shit.

i have 2 mouse gestures set... one to scroll to the top of the page, and the other to scroll to the bottom of the page. (also got a page incrementer programmed)
very handy in forums like these.
not a big deal since we *do* have scroll bars...
but its such a time saver

going to the scroll bars requires moving your wrist. This is slow and bad for rsi. Mouse gesture means I only have to move my fingers

one of the best ie alternatives available
uses the ie shell so theres no compatiblity issues
its got tabbed browsing, mouse gestures.... pretty much everything

I understand his dad, a lot of people just want everything 'as normal as possible'.
This in order to stop conflicts etc., they minimize the actual risk, thinking it'll never happen to them anyway.
A lot of parents have this, they don't understand the meaning of tweaking and stuff like that either.
Well maybe they're just right and we're all geeks
