Yes, me too. This was more of a pain than NoScript, but after trying a few I switched to "Foxy Gestures" and I'm mostly happy with it. It has right-button+move-in-a-pattern gestures, as well as "chorded" right/left clicks and wheel gestures.
It does have 2 issues - 1st it does not work on special pages due to security restrictions. This means stuff like about:blank, when a page fails to load, preferences pages, and Mozilla's add-on site. There's nothing you can do about this regardless of the gestures add-on you use - life is worse due to security concerns, this is why we can't have nice things, etc.
And 2nd on Linux (maybe Mac too) Foxy Gestures did not work at all by default since the right-click menu triggers on mouse down, not mouse up. That stopped the gesture in their tracks. The FoxyGestures developer mitigated this problem by making right-menu take 2 clicks to trigger as an option enabled by default on Linux, but that can be annoying as now the regular right-click menu doesn't appear when you expect. Fortunately a patch is in Firefox for a future version that adds the option "ui.context_menus.after_mouseup", which makes the right-click menu work like on Windows. Also, a bonus, on Arch Linux the packager backported that preference to Firefox 57, so nice of them, which made everything work almost as well as in the pre-57 days.
