Vimperator is a firefox add-on that enables a VIM like experience. For the most part you can say good-bye to the mouse.

I am still getting use to it but I really like the ability to navigate without having to move my hand to the mouse.

Ubiquity is yet another firefox add-on that brings web services to you. Say for instance you come across a word that you don’t know. You could simply select it and then then with ubiquity type ‘define this’ and you’ll get the definition.

Mapping and other functions work similarly…

One thing to note is that there are still some problems and certain functions still don’t work correctly.
