- Rated 4 out of 5by Leo, 7 years agoexcellent experience in chrome, but there's problem I met in firefox, when I was using vimium in websites which open each selected result in a new tab, the annoying warning that "firefox prevented this site from a pop-up window" was always there, and if I disabled the pop-up blocker from setting, with once vimium shortcut typed, the same two tabs were opened. I think it's probably a bug with vimium, because if I click the link directly instead of using vimium, all these problems above disappear.

In may case vimius slows down the browser so much that a warning is issued by mozilla firefox, telling me that a script in vimium is slowing down the browser. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gyara, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5837552, 7 years agoSpeeds up browsing a lot.
Really liked:
- insert mode (map i) that really works
- focusing input (gi) and using tab to switch between many of them
- toggle between previous tab (default ^, mapped it to q)
- vomnibar, especially tab search (T)
and of course the basic vim key bindings you expect from any vim extension.
Not being able to use Vimium-FF in Firefox native tabs bothers me a bit, sometimes Vimium-FF stops working on some pages, and the search (/) not highlighting results makes it pretty useless compared to the native Firefox search, but I've understood that they're limitations of the WebExtensions API rather than the fault of the extension developers. Overall very good, and that's why I give you 5/5 stars. - Rated 5 out of 5by Diego Roberto dos Santos, 7 years agoI like this extension, it is very useful. If you are familiar with vim, I strongly recommend starting using it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by anshulguleria90, 7 years agoLove the plugin. It would be awesome if this can integrate with firefox containers. That will make handling container tabs easy to handle.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13679182, 7 years agoFinally, best extension for mouseless / keyboard only surfing ported to FF
- Rated 5 out of 5by plantarum, 7 years agoWorks as expected, and keybindings are completely customizable, so you could make this into emacsium if you so desire. Also allows for partial or complete blacklisting of sites, so you can make sure vimium doesn't get in the way on sites that have their own shortcuts.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12637494, 7 years agoIt could esc facebook message windows via esc key likes native?
- Rated 5 out of 5by ZhuKang, 7 years agoIt's better because it fits browser and does not force you to use identical vim keybindings.

You are amazing. This extension is the BEST VIM option in all of Firefox. I could not live without it. Holy moly is it so good. Thank you so much for making this and sharing it with all of us.
Please keep up the great work.
I have had zero issues so far, no crashes, import/export works great, responsive and fast, it just WORKS.
5 STARS. Must download. - Rated 4 out of 5by timvisee, 7 years agoBrilliant plugin! Mostly what I expected from such plugin, so that's awesome.
The only problem I'm having though, is that Vimium does not work on the new tab/blank pages (and probably on some other pages too) in Firefox.
I'll change my rating to 5 stars for sure when this minor issue has been fixed. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12439113, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13570206, 7 years agoMostly love this extension. I wish I could hold down backspace when searching without the backspace causing me to go back a page after I have deleted all the text from the search box.
