Download Vimium-FF for Firefox. The Hacker's Browser. Vimium provides keyboard shortcuts for navigation and control in the spirit of Vim. This is a port of the popular Chrome extension to Firefox. Most stuff works, but the port to Firefox remains a work in progress.
Very useful and pleasant to use. You almost don’t have to move your fingers out of the keyboard with this extension.
Yeah, it’s like that for security reasons. They block extensions from interacting with about:* pages, so that an extension can’t prevent you from uninstalling it or stuff like that.
A somewhat crappy workaround would be to set your newtab-page to a webpage, e.g. your search engine’s webpage or some local HTML-file.
Does Vimium? No extensions should work on the about:* pages…
