Not quite the same, but I've found https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/ … reduces the pain 
.
I'm very impressed by the performance of Firefox 57. It's just a shame that Vimperator no longer works and I have to learn to use a mouse again... :(
(Thanks for the part you played, @ioctaptceb!)

yes the loss of vimperator is a shame.. I tried some other addons and they didn't quite work for me. I am on the lookout for a replacement as well, will let you know what I find!

Thank you! I'm terrible with using a mouse, but despite that, on balance the new version is still a great improvement. :)

I found that downgrade to LTS reduces the pain xD so sad, that it's only a temporary option

It looks like Tridactyl is a nice replacement for Vimperator. I've just installed it, and it looks pretty similar.
