## What it is
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
