Configuration

about:config, and setbrowser.ctrlTab.previewsto true [1].

Candidates
Extension I might install in the future:
- Extension to suspend tabs. ! Careful, this may lead to loss of work if you typed text in a form and the page gets suspended
pentadactyl
pentadactyl is an add-on that turns Firefox into a powerful vim-like browser.
- Installation from source (on Firefox 48)
- See also detailed instructions at http://5digits.org/coding
- Get source from github:
git clone https://github.com/5digits/dactyl.git
- Make project
cd dactyl/
make -C pentadactyl xpi
- Then in Firefox, go to add-on tab, and select install .xpi from file located in dactyl/downloads.
- Installation
- First disable add-on signature policy. Go to [about:config] and set
xpinstall.signatures.requiredto false. - Download the latest nightly build and install it
- I installed pentadactyl-20160121.xpi on Firefox 44.
- Restore add-on signature policy
- Usage
- See
:helpfor quick help - f show hints and follow a link.
- y current location.
- p paste new location.
- H L history back/forward.
- ^n ^p next / previous tab.
- ^v — Enable passthrough (next) (only next key press)
- Tip: To paste text, press ^v twice.
- ^z — Enable passthrough
:mkpto save current configuration
- Customization
I prefer to use ^j ^k to go to next/previous tab, like I do to navigate between buffers.
:map -builtin -description "Next tab" <C-j> <C-n> :map -builtin -description "Previous tab" <C-k> <C-p> :mkp
- Configure passthrough
Configure passkeys to tell Pentadactyl what keys must be passed through (k)
:set passkeys+=gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/:<Up><Down><Left><Right>
Use auto-commands to make Pentadactyl alway pass all of your keys through for a particular URL [2]:
:autocmd LocationChange 'https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplet/console/*' :normal! <C-z>
