> The extension is supported and works without problem. The problem that you encountered is likely due to the "bookmarks" optional permission which you need to grant explicitly ;-)

Ah, gotcha - thanks for clarifying that. Yup, I see that in the add-on's preferences page - there are a bunch of opt-in permissions there, which seem to be needed to get various bits of functionality working.  So the the breakage I observed at the end of comment 30 was just due to lack-of-granting-those-permissions, rather than being due to some sort of API change in Firefox (which is what I'd initially assumed).

In any case: the good news takeaway is that, per comment 31,  the latest easyGestures N version will continue working even if we do something along the lines of backing out this bug's patch, based on observations and based on the `web_accessible_resources` usage per comment 31.
