I've been using Vimperator (http://vimperator.org/trac/wiki/Vimperator) lately. It's a plugin for Firefox that strips it down to only a tab bar and adds a command bar at the bottom. It allows for mouse-free browsing in the style of the VIM text editor. My mouse died four days ago and I won't have a replacement for a while (up to a month if Logitech decides to be an asshole) so it comes in handy. There's a tough segment of learning how to use it at the beginning, but once you become fluent with it (Luckily, I had experience using VIM when I messed around with Python) you can easily browse the internet quicker with your keyboard than your mouse.
