Due to plugin sandboxing introduced in Firefox 41, Flash Gestures is no longer compatible with Firefox 41 or higher. Workarounds are complex, and since Mozilla is actively trying to get rid of NPAPI plugins, I don't want to continue support plugins either. Hence discontinuing this project.
=================================================================================
Resolve mouse gestures and hotkeys usability problem on plugins like Adobe Flash.
Currently only supports Firefox.
The add-on currently has basic functionality:
- Allow using mouse gestures on any type of plugins.
- Support using Firefox hotkeys when plugins have focus.
- Have a customizable toggle button.
- Supports Win64, Win32 and WOW64 platforms.
Open FlashGestures.sln with Visual Studio 2013 and build the solution.
After successful building, you will get the add-on file of the name FlashGestures32(64).xpi.
To build a unified xpi containing both x86 and x64 binaries, you could either:
- run tools/buildxpi-unified.bat after both builds are done.
or
- run tools/compile-and-build-unified.bat directly (requires MSBuild). This will first build the required binaries, and then package them.
