People have commented to me several times about the various FF extensions that give vim like control. I've tried them all.
My main complaint is that I just want a thin client over some rendering engine that I can easily script with bash or whatever. FF forces me to learn a whole new ecosystem and do things the FF way.
Don't get me wrong, if you love your browser then more power to you, but I feel like Uzbl has way too little exposure. Seems to me like most unix people would love it.
Sorry being so late to recommend it but I think you'll like Qutebrowser.
That's rights, Firefox is moving to Web Extension (iirc it's to ensure cross-compatibility with Chrome Extensions). Sadly it's losing most of the extensions which alter the behaviour of the browser in the process.
This is the reason I decided to give Qutebrowser a try. I really like it so far. Now I just need enough time to come up with some simple Keepass integration... (or just hope someone else does :-) )
I use keepassx, and it works well with FF without any integration tools. Would that not work for you?
Hm, I'll have to try that. I was using Keefox so far. Thanks for the hint!
Because of that I moved from Vimperator to VimFx[1] which is a great plugin.
Additionally, I use It's All Text[2] to write comments like these using Vim.
[1] https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/vimfx/
[2] https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/its-all-text/
What's the point of context switching to Vim for an internet comment? I get that it's all text, but I doubt there's any productivity boost over me writing this with my thumbs on my iPhone.
I personally like it as I tend to use vim controls even on input forms. Occasionally I end comments incorrectly:wq

I understand vimperator/pentadactyl and other "legacy" plugins will remain usable with FF ESR (long term support) version 52.x, which is supported until mid-2018. Hopefully we will see a rewrite by then.

Pale Moon will support XUL addons past Mozilla's EOL on Firefox. I've been using it for several years now as a replacement to Firefox.
FWIW, vimperator is awesome in FF, though I hear it's going away soon with recent FF updates.
