I tried Pentadactyl last year but I gave up immediately because the link navigation used numbers instead letters. I think it's profoundly more efficient to type letters as I do with Vimium on Chrome and VimFx on Firefox.

What is Pentadactyl?

Pentadactyl is a free browser add-on for Firefox, designed to make browsing more efficient and especially more keyboard accessible. Largely inspired by the Vim text editor, the appearance and finger feel of Pentadactyl should be familiar to Vim users. Additional web-specific features, such as our ‘Hint’ mode, command interface, and key bindings to automatically follow back and forward links, make it easy to navigate without touching the mouse and give Pentadactyl a habit forming nature of its own.
