About this extension
Swipe Navigator makes browsing more fluid and natural by adding gesture-based navigation to Firefox, as seen on other popular mobile browsers, like Brave.
IMPORTANT: Due to Firefox security restrictions, swipe gestures do not work on addons.mozilla.org and other Mozilla pages, Reader Mode pages, or internal
PERMISSIONS: Swipe Navigator requests permission to run on all websites because gesture detection happens inside each page. This allows the extension to recognize edge swipes and show visual feedback, then trigger browser back/forward navigation. The extension is designed for gesture handling only, not for collecting passwords, form entries, or browsing content. If you want to review exactly how it works, source code is freely available from the link in the description.
