I was looking for something along these lines, but I really just want the h, j, k, l movement keys. Those combined with the / (search in page) and ' (search links in page) shortcuts would dramatically cut down my use of the mouse when browsing.

i've used keyconfig for that for many years (and is consequently why i get so frustrated at websites that default to focusing some search text box when the main function of the page isn't to search).

it isn't marked as compatible with firefox 3.5 but i've tweaked the xpi file to say so, and it works fine.

if you put this in .vimperatorrc it makes switching tabs much easier

  map J <C-PageDown>
  map K <C-PageUp>

Hm. I mostly stick to Page Up/Down when scrolling.

Have you found a way to make firefox scroll more than one line per key down/up? I find page down/up too coarse and key down/up too fine.

This is just a guess, but have you tried ctrl-d and ctrl-u?

No that doesn't work
