I'd highly recommend Firemacs, which sets up (customizable) Emacs-like
keybindings for Firefox. I'd also recommend Conkeror for a more extreme
approach. And for editing textboxes, catching mailto: links, looking at page
source, etc., MozEx allows you to use an external program of your choice
(such as emacsclient) to do these tasks and more. Also, if you like keyboard
navigation but Conkeror is too much for you (unfortunately, since many
extensions are written such that they only work with the default Firefox
"chrome," which Conkeror takes the place of, many extensions do not play
nicely with it), you might also like Hit-a-Hint.

For DVI, PS, and PDF, there's always the new doc-view code, which I've found
*very* useful.

You might like Ratpoison or StumpWM. They're tiling, keyboard-driven window
managers influenced by Emacs and GNU Screen. StumpWM even has an optional
mode-line, and is *very* customizable because it is written in common lisp.
Anyway, just two cents.
