# Vim Vixen
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vim Vixen is a Firefox add-on which allows you to navigate with keyboard on the browser.
|
|
|
|
Firefox started to support WebExtensions API and will stop supporting add-ons using legacy APIs from version 57.
|
|
|
|
For this reason, many legacy add-ons do not work on Firefox 57.
