Vimperator 2.0
FIREFOX ADDON VIMPERATOR
Vimperator is a free browser add-on for Firefox, which makes it look and behave like the Vim text editor. It has similar key bindings, and you could call it a modal web browser, as key bindings differ according to which mode you are in.
Warning: To provide the most authentic Vim experience, Vimperator hides the Firefox menubar and toolbar by default. Most users find them unnecessary once they're used to Vimperator, but if you really need them, type: :set guioptions+=mT to get them back.
If you don't like Vimperator at all, you can uninstall it by typing :addons and removing/disabling it.
If you like it, but can't remember the shortcuts, press F1 or :help.
Vimperator was initially written by Martin Stubenschrott but has found many other contributors in the meanwhile. If you appreciate the work on Vimperator and want to encourage us working on it more, you can send us greetings, patches, or donations by going to http://vimperator.org

What is new in 2.0 software version? - * version 2.0
* IMPORTANT: For compatibility with vim, guioptions=b has been renamed
'B'. 'b' now represents the bottom scrollbar.
* IMPORTANT: :set now sets multiple options, as in Vim. Spaces in values
must be quoted or escaped.
* IMPORTANT: Due to much improved autocompletion, changed default 'complete' option
value to 'sfl', listing intelligent Firefox location bar results. Removed possibility
to use 'h' in 'complete'.
* IMPORTANT: AlwaysHint mode with ;F mode changed the semantics slightly.
* IMPORTANT: command actions now take an args object, returned from
commands.parseArgs, as their first argument. This will break any commands
not using the args parser explicitly. The old string value is now
available via args.string.
* IMPORTANT: 'verbose' is now used for message levels. Logging is
controlled by the extensions.liberator.loglevel preference.
* IMPORTANT: :viusage and :exusage now jump to the help index, use the
special versions for the old behavior.
* IMPORTANT: renamed Startup and Quit autocmd events to VimperatorEnter and
VimperatorLeave respectively.
* IMPORTANT: 'verbose' is now by default at 1, set to 0 to not show any status messages.
* IMPORTANT: $VIMPERATOR_HOME is no longer used.
* Selecting an with hints now causes the commandline to prompt
for file input (instead of doing nothing).
* [count] now goes to the [count]th next tab rather than the [count]th tab.

it just opens linux.com. Also handy when pasting broken urls with p or P.

groups, HintElem and HintActive
