Yes, there's this problem too if you run Tridactyl (Vimperator/Pentadactyl's successor).

You may want to have no address or tab bar given that you enter URLs in a Tridactyl's own field, and you manage tabs as buffers. Even worse, Firefox own address bar steals focus in some scenarios.

Does Tridactyl suck as much as Vimium-FF on FF57? I would guess so. I used to run VimFX, but I'm out of luck now. It seems we have to wait for the DOM to load before we can use our keyboard shortcuts...

You can hide the annoying/superfluous parts of the GUI pretty well with userchrome.css settings.

The worst part now is the "no extensions on special pages" and "no extension may open an about:* page".

In the light of recent advancements on Firefox I feel optimistic these issues get addressed within the next 12 months.
