Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
Implement additional touchscreen gestures for common user actions in Fennec.
2. Users & use cases
`
3. Dependencies
- bug 653282 - Swipes should navigate the awesomescreen.
- There are some interactions and dependencies between touch events and gestures.
- When we expose multi-touch events to web content, web pages that consume the touch events may prevent gestures from invoking their default UI actions.
- The implementation of gestures might depend on exposing multi-touch events to Fennec's chrome JavaScript.

This is our new gesture set, as mapped to current browser features. We will also have on-screen touch buttons/targets, but we need to map all features to a gestures for accessibility reasons (more details on that soon)...
