I just moved to pale moon. Not all of the vimperator plugins work with pentadactyl (which is the officially supported thing), but it's decent.
Supposedly there was a chat today discussing keyboard extension apis [1]
Theres also an open issue on hiding the tabstrip [2]
But I somewhat doubt that the real strength, which imho is the scriptability will come back.
For those that don't know you can do a lot more with vimperator/pentadactyl than just use vim navigation. It allows you to script the entire ui in js. It also lets you bind commands and keys to bookmarklets and add mode keys to e.g. move forward in backward in slides on slideshare. On top of that it has a configurable commandbar which allows you to use fuzzy logic with history/bookmarks/awesomebar stuff(more importantly you can choose which things it should search)
If vimium is the usual "vi mode is not vim" then vimperator is the closest to vim you get in the browser.
another issue with palemoon and the webextension stuff is that i'm wondering how long the xul part of the plugins is going to keep being updated. I have a feeling that plugins that may need frequent updates will just rot away.
