Vimium-FF [0] works just fine and has since I first installed FF57 Developer Edition (right after FF55 came out?)

   .. works just fine ...

Not really. You can't yank the url (yy) in Firefox, and the search is borked sometimes when there is no match on the page. After spending a few months with vimium, I found vim-vixen, which doesn't have these problems.

Vimium-FF is not a substitute. Very very limited compared to what Vimperator and Pentadactyl can do. Besides the features, the main problem with Vimium-FF is that it does not work on a lot of pages and, even in the pages that does work, it breaks often. During long sessions, it's common having to reload the page multiple times to get Vimium-FF working again.
