  Description     : completely keyboard driven Gecko based web browser

Conkeror is a Gecko based and completely keyboard driven web browser
implemented as Firefox extension[2]. It has no toolbars or buttons and
its keybindings are modeled after Emacs, but it also offers optional
vi-like keybindings.

Notes:

  [1] Exact license still unclear since it's not mentioned on the
      website and I have no feedback neither from the #conkeror
      IRC-channel nor mailinglist yet. I've also skimmed through the
      source code and haven't found anything, but since the mozdev.org
      policy for hosted projects only allows projects under MPL or an
      OSI-approved license, it should not give any bad surpises
      here. :-)

  [2] It's implemented and installed as a Firefox extension, but using
      a wrapper script loading the appropriate chrome files, it should
      be able to install it as it would be a standalone browser (using
      all the Firefox preferences, though). Additionally, any user can
      choose to start conkeror instead of firefox when firefox is
      called. But I don't want to implement this as default. It also
      seems to really need firefox and not only xulrunner.
