Are they useful/helpful? It seems like a lot of people use them. What is the learning curve? |

As far as I am concerned it's just a gimmick, which you'll like at first, and grow out of it quickly. Personally I think it's useless, because you could be doing something (lets say in photoshop) and you accidentally perform that shortcut mouse gesture and it would load up something that you previously assigned that gesture to. I remember using this in a game called Black & White |

To clarify: I meant in a browser, like Firefox.. Using them in Photoshop sounds aweful. |

My friend Wade swears by them. He uses DOUBLE+THROWRIGHT for forward and DOUBLE+THROWLEFT for back the most, he says. Double = hold both mouse buttons, Throw = move cursor quickly in direction. I don't use them because I prefer the keyboard shortcuts. ALT + LEFT and ALT + RIGHT. |

Well i wouldn't have thought there was any learning curve. You would assign your own specified gesture and then save/apply it or something like that. Same rules apply. Again, It's just a gimmick and often more than not you'll hardly ever use it or grow out of it quickly because it gets annoying. |

It's when you perform an action (in the way of a movement of the mouse) to execute a command within mozilla. Again, useless. |

It's an extention. I uninstalled them. Too confusing, and pretty useless. |

You can beg all you want. They are useless. The end. |
