There's a plugin for firefox which allows firefox to behave more like Vim. Some of the features include:
* Vim-like keybindings (h,j,k,l,gg,G,0,$,ZZ,,etc.)
* Ex commands (:quit, :open www.foo.com, ...)
* Hit-a-hint like navigation of links (start with 'f' to follow a link)
* Vim-like statusline with a wget-like progress bar
* Macros to replay key strokes
etc...
The author really threw in the kitchen sink. I've seen my co-worker using this, and it's SUPER cool.

On the tips & tricks page you can find how to disable the vimperator keys everytime you come on a certain site. I use this to e.g. for greader.
Vimperator is great, I have a write up on customizing it here:

I have been using vimperator for a few days now. I first saw it on a friend's laptop and was intrigued by the name.
When you know basic vim-fu, vimperator will feel natural. In the past I had accidently tried to close my browser with :q, and now I can! I love it.
People might be interested in Muttator for Thunderbird as well.
It is actually Vimperator that got me interested in VIM! I've been using Vimperator for about half a year now, and I love it.
I've been using vim for a very long time. I'll give vimperator a try. As far i understand from the comments, it is an add-on for the ones who have vim fixation.
I know it's old news, but let me remind again: As you may already know "gmail" has already kinda vim support, you could use some vim keys with gmail.
Thanks.
