  • Reason: Firefox 79 introduced additional sync storage restrictions for better parity with Chrome.
  • Details: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/07/09/changes-to-storage-sync-in-firefox-79 and https://wiki.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage/sync#Storage_quotas_for_sync_data

New in Gesturefy 3.0.4 (Jun 24, 2020)

In short this algorithm will basically only compare the directions and not the lengths of the gesture segments, therefore it cannot properly distinguish between ↓→ and ↓→→ If (detailed explanation about the differences between the algorithms will follow)
