Get Pentadactyl! (a fork of Vimperator) It adds vim-like navigation to Firefox. Granted, 1w won't work, but a good deal of other shortcuts do. There's a handy shortcut to edit any textbox in Vim also, but I can't recall what it is. I seriously cannot recommend this addon enough; it completely changed my browsing experience.
I tried switching vimperator for pentadactyl today and found some unpleasant buggy behaviour. Will try again when not so many tabs open and uninstalled it.
Turns out what I use most is 'd' to close tabs and 'u' to unclose them. Most of the rest of vimperator passes me by except when I fight the modal/passthrough/where the hell are my keypresses going moments.

Aaagh!
I finished reading that in Firefox, instinctively hit <esc>1w to go back to the top, swore, and found myself typing :prev.
I'm clearly doomed.
