I saw some people talking about creating a non-Mozilla LTS Firefox |
| 41 |
version. I'm not sure how well that will work but I wish them luck. In |
| 42 |
the case of Vimperator, it looks like a lot of the breaking changes |
| 43 |
revolve around what you can and can't do to the UI. I run Vimperator |
| 44 |
with 'gui="none,tabs"' which is something worth looking up if you |
| 45 |
haven't seen it. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Keysnail looks nice but it seems like it doesn't modify the GUI. |
| 48 |
There's a few Vim inspired addons for Firefox, but none of them are as |
| 49 |
comprehensive as Vimperator. There's a lot of Vim mimicry that I'm not |
| 50 |
even aware of in the addon, it's extremely comprehensive. |
| 51 |

Thanks for the suggestion, |
