Well, there's vimium-ff [1] which works pretty good for me.

[1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/

I switched to it yesterday from VimFX. Basic stuff works the same as in VimFX, but:

- Yanking does not work at all.

- "Follow in new tab" (F) does not work. (EDIT: Working now, so maybe I did something weird yesterday.)

- "Open" (o) does not respect search keywords. "wikipedia Test" gives me a search for "wikipedia test" instead of the Wikipedia page for "test".

- Most of the shortcuts don't work on a blank page, or on "about:" pages. For example, when I open a new tab with "t", then change my mind and press "[Esc]x", it doesn't work. Nor does any other letter command.

I filed a bug for the first one, and it seems to be related to shortcomings in FF's clipboard API for WebExtensions, so I suppose that at least the last issue in my list is also related to what the browser allows WebExtensions to do. But at this point, I don't really care about filing more bug reports. I'm looking for alternatives instead. (Any suggestions?)

I am using this addon, but I'm having a hard time with it. I wish you could disable smooth scrolling when using "j" and "k"

Not on a pc right now, but there may be an option for that? Not entirely sure.

There's a checkbox to control smooth scrolling in about:preferences#advanced , but I just tried both options and didn't notice any difference, neither when using the touchpad nor with j/k in Vimium-FF.

I have smooth scrolling disabled in about:prefs, which only disables it on my touchpad, not with vimium-ff

[yorwba]

I just found "Use smooth scrolling" under Vimium's advanced options. Might be this page: moz-extension://78ac0671-3b7c-4a05-8771-f46ecdb2b65c/pages/options.html#advancedOptions unless that random string is unique per-user and I just broadcast my password.

When I copy this URL into the addressbar and hit Enter, it just disappears. Probably a security feature.
