sychophant··on Firefox 57 as the first release where only WebExtensions will be supported
Do you use any indispensable add-ons that are Web Extension based?

I have used all of the Chrome based variants of Vimperator. I like Cvim too.

However there is one killer feature for me in Firefox, that is the fact that I can:

nmap <C-j> 10j

nmap <C-k> 10k

Chrome has these keys already bound and there is no way to unbind them.

I am adamant about using this configuration because it matches my .vimrc - so I use the exact same navigation in my browser and my (arguably) IDE.

Thanks for the tip on this - installing.

I use Vimperator. I have not upgraded Firefox since 43.0.4 in order to continue to use Vimperator. I will not upgrade Firefox past the point where it does not support Vimperator.
