Firefox 54: E10S-Multi, WebExtension APIs, CSS Clip-Path

I'm dubious, because after nearly a decade, Chrome has exactly zero mouse gesture addons that I consider remotely usable. None of them work consistently. Not a single one is comparable to FireGestures.

But thanks for the link to Foxy Gestures-- I'll give it a shot!

Edit: Tried out Foxy Gestures. Not usable. First, no support for mouse button chording. Second, every single gesture pops up the right-click menu. Third, gestures don't work maybe 75% of the time-- difficult to tell if that's due to the right click menu popping up or if it's just plain broken.

Seems like it's this bug at fault. Mouse gesture Webextensions are broken on MacOS and Linux.

We're still nearly half a year away from Firefox 57's release, so many add-ons, like Foxy Gestures, are still going to be a bit rough. There's no harm in sticking with FireGestures for now, knowing that replacements are in the works.

(Though it's probably worth letting the Foxy Gestures author know what bits seem to be missing as a FireGestures user.)
