Rated 5 out of 5
by Ejaz Rasool, 6 years agoSuch a great extension. Very sane defaults. Can't imagine browsing internet without it.
A few opportunities of improvement are there though.
- Biggest of them would be able to use vimium for going to next/previous tab before the page has loaded completely. It looks like this extension requires a completely loaded page to function.
- Also to go to page's first input (gi), the first input needs to be visible. So on a scrolled down page, user needs to use (gg) first. Small annoyance
- Some sites like to autofocus one of their text fields on load. An option to disable that would be very useful.

posted 6 years agoEjaz, thanks for the thoughtful review. Note that there is an option in Vimium's Options page called "Don't let pages steal the focus on load" (which is not on by default).

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19726060, a month agoGood vim-like motions, but major issue: Breaks firefox’s bfcache functionality, so the back button reloads the page even where bfcache should show a cached result.
So can’t give more than 2 stars until this is fixed. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14513971, 2 months ago
