# Vim Vixen
Vim Vixen is a Firefox add-on which allows you to easily navigate the web by
keyboard. Since version 57, Firefox has migrated to the WebExtensions API and
has dropped support for legacy add-ons. Vim Vixen is a new choice for Vim users
since it uses the WebExtensions API.
## Getting started
### Install Vim Vixen
Vim Vixen is supported on Firefox 68 ESR. Please install the latest version of stable ESR
from the [download page](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/).
You can install Vim Vixen from [Firefox add-ons (addons.mozilla.org)][AMO], and
manage installed add-ons on Firefox preferences `about:preferences`.
### Quick start
After installation, you can control Firefox with vim-like keymaps. To scroll a
page in the browser, press <kbd>k</kbd>, <kbd>j</kbd>, <kbd>h</kbd> and
<kbd>l</kbd> keys. You can scroll to the top or the bottom of a page by
<kbd>g</kbd><kbd>g</kbd> and <kbd>G</kbd>.
To select a left and right of current tab, use <kbd>K</kbd> and <kbd>J</kbd>
respectively. To close current tab, use <kbd>d</kbd> and to restore closed
tabs, use <kbd>u</kbd>.
To open a link, press <kbd>f</kbd> to enter the **follow mode** to select a
link. Then you can select links by alphabetic keys.
See also [Keymaps](./keymaps.html) for more detailed of keymaps.
### Using commands
Vim Vixen supports command line to run commands that control tabs and opens a
tab. To open command line, press <kbd>:</kbd>.
To open a tab with URL, use `open` command as the following:
```
:open https://github.com/ueokande/vimvixen
```
or search keywords with search engine (such as Google) like:
```
:open How to use Vim
```
You can see completed commands on [Console commands](./console_commands.html).
