Question owner
So should I replace the
- browser.gesture.swipe.left -> Browser:BackOrBackDuplicate
- browser.gesture.swipe.right -> Browser:ForwardOrForwardDuplicate
with....
- browser.gesture.swipe.left.shift -> Browser:PrevTab
- browser.gesture.swipe.right.shift -> Browser:NextTab
or... Create a new "string" (Pref. Name)?
The name of the pref tells which gesture to use, so you can change/set the action of that pref accordingly.
You can set different actions for swipe left and swipe left while holding down the Shift key.
