Mouseless Browsing (MLB) is a Firefox-Extension which enables you to browse the internet with the keyboard. The basic principle is to add small boxes with unique ids behind every link and/or form element. You just have to type in the id and press enter (there is also an automatice mode available) to trigger the corresponding action i.e. following a link, pressing a button or selecting a  textfield.

You can visit the project page here.

Or you can download the Add-on at Mouseless Browsing.

Feature List:

• Supports numeric as well as character ids; character set configurable
• Option to show ids before entire page is loaded
• Configurable modifiers to open link in new tab/window/Cooliris Previews
• Configuration option to use numpad exclusively for Mouseless Browsing
• Configuration options to define for which elements ids should be shown (form element, links, pure image links, frames)
• Smart positining of ids: Ids for image links, textfields, selectboxes are placed in the right upper corner to minimize the impact on the page layout.
• Possiblity to configure URL specific behaviour (black/whitelist)
• Configurable shortcuts for all Mouseless Browsing actions

It takes a little getting used to but overall is pretty good.  What you need to do is just identify the intended hyperlink by right index number, then use Ctrl + numeric key to bring the cursor to respective positions.
