NaviTouch Extension

For touch screen users only. Press on the NaviTouch button (grey circle) with your finger to pop open the menu. Simply slide your finger to the nearest action you want to perform to automatically invoke that action.

Actions include:

- Scroll to the top of the page
- Focus previous tab
- Focus next tab
- Create a new tab
- Navigate back in history
- Close the current tab

You can optionally move the grey circle to any of the 4 corners of the screen.

Why:
When using touch screens, anything at the very top of the screen is hard to reach with your finger. The difficulty is compounded by the need to touch the tiny \"X\" to close a tab or the tiny \"+\" to open a new tab.

With this extension, it make accessing those 2 frequent functions easier by taking advantage of the ease at which gestures or swipes can be performed with your finger.
