$ mkdir ~/tmp
$ cp /usr/local/lib/firefox/chrome/toolkit.jar ~/tmp
$ cd ~/tmp
$ jar -xf toolkit.jar
$ vim ./content/global/platformHTMLBindings.xml

add: <handler event="keypress" keycode="VK_F11" command="" />
somewhere under: <binding id="inputFields">

$ jar -cf toolkit.jar content/
# mv toolkit.jar /usr/local/lib/firefox/chrome/

Restart firefox.

Hope that works. Haven't tested it but I change some of the
keybindings to be more vi-like in that way.
