Hi, I'm the maintainer/"janitor keeping the lights on" for VimFx. It still works on up-to-date Firefox versions, as long as you copy a litte bit of javascript in Firefox' install directory[1].
> Vimium these days does not work when a page hasn't finished loading and it doesn't work on blank pages (about:blank) or any other "system page"
This is the single thing that makes the (current) Webextension framework unusable for such extensions, and the reason I keep working on VimFx.

- mikae1 5y agoThank you! As I mention further down in the conversation, I use VimFX with Waterfox Current alongside Firefox. I'd rather just use Firefox though. I've been staring at those LegacyFox instruction more than one time. Being lazy I've just continued using Waterfox. Using LegacyFox means I have to build/make it after every update of Firefox, right?
- girst 5y ago> Using LegacyFox means I have to build/make it after every update of Firefox, right? Nope! Installing once is enough. As long as you're upgrading in-place (which you probably do), it will stay persistent, since Legacyfox doesn't overwrite files provided by Firefox.
