[bug] Open link in new tab doesn't work with image links

[ZaPPZion]

I'm not sure if this has always been the case, but lately I've been noticing that if I use the "Open link in new tab" gesture over images (starting on the image actually) that are links (specifically on for example youtube), the links are not opened, but a new tab is opened. The gesture works fine if I'm starting from the text below the image.

OS: win10
Firefox version: 70.0 (64-bits)
Gesturefy 2.1.3

So far I was only able to reproduce the issue on youtube thumbnails.

Update: It looks like this is because the target element of the gesture gets removed after you move your mouse away from the element by some youtube javascript.

I may implement a fallback for this.

Wow, yea, youtube is indeed the problem. If I just use the gesture and stay within the image bounds, it's no issue indeed. The gesture used to work fine, just an occasional (1 in 50 or so) miss, but that might be user-error or just the browser not being fast enough and the mouse already leaving, so that wasn't an issue. But it's def youtube javascript causing this indeed. Odd choice to remove a link from an image if there's no mouse present.

This bug is fixed with the release of Gesturefy version 3.0.
