Vimium is available on Chrome, in case anyone gets confused.

I got a nightly build a while back but didn't feel impressed enough to change my $BROWSER. Maybe now I'll give it another shot, since TST w/o a top tab bar sounds fun.

Does anyone know of a reliable vim keybinding extension (a la Vimperator) for Quantum? I have tried VimVixen and QuantumVim with little success.

No, it's impossible for the moment to deliver reliable keybinding-extensions. Firefox has no API for it, so all solutions need to work by injecting a script into each website, and grap keys from this context. And that simply sucks and leads to many problems. They are supposed to work on a solutions, but it likely still needs 6+ months.

Besides that, vimium works well enough under perfect conditions, and is quite mature as it is a port from Chrome. Tridactyl is also promising replacement for Vimperator, but still needs time to grow, because they just started some weeks ago.

Vimium-FF works pretty well for me.
