VimFx is a Firefox extension that adds Vim-style keyboard shortcuts for browsing and navigation, enabling a near mouseless experience. It is a legacy extension for Firefox 115+ that requires the LegacyFox shim to install.

Use cases

  • add vim keyboard shortcuts to firefox
  • browse firefox without using the mouse
  • click links with keyboard hints like vimium
  • search within a page using vim-style / and n keys
  • manage firefox tabs with keyboard shortcuts
  • customize browser keybindings with a config file

When to choose

  • you want Vimium-like vim keybindings in Firefox
  • you prefer keyboard-driven, mouseless browsing
  • you want an extension that does not aggressively change Firefox's default appearance or behavior
  • you are comfortable installing the LegacyFox shim for Firefox 115+

When to avoid

  • you use a current Firefox version without the LegacyFox shim
  • you need a WebExtensions-compatible extension with active modern development
  • you want a heavily featured browser overhaul like Vimperator
  • you primarily use Chrome or another non-Firefox browser
