Only tried to use it briefly on nightly, and:

- <f> opens the "Follow hint" prompt, but with no hints (ie, the set of available hints is empty)

- used <shift-esc> to enter ignore mode, and it stuck, can't get out of it with <shift-esc> again, nor with <insert>

which was enough for me to consider it non-working.
Martin, are you the developer of the "Vimperator" add-on? The add-on seems to be broken with multiprocess Firefox (e10s). If you have any questions about e10s support, just drop by the #e10s IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org or ask Ally on this bug. MDN also has a good introduction:

The developer has been contacted through AMO.
Thanks for informing me about the issue with e10s support (I am the founder of Vimperator). I cannot yet say when we find time to further investigate the issue but at least we are now aware of it.

Huge fan of Vimperator, Martin -- I'd love it if it worked with E10S too. If there's anything an average user can do to help out, let me know.
Vimperator's still not working with e10s, which was turned on by default in Firefox 42. I had a poke around to see if I could fix it, but not sure where to start. I'll disabled e10s for now -- can't live without Vimperator!
There are still issues with this. There is a bug with custom url prefixes that needs looked at for example.

Hi,
Didn't know about this bug myself. Just want to say that we are aware of it and we're tracking this issue on the project here: https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator-labs/issues/211
Unfortunately, no work has begun on it yet but hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later.
Thanks.
