It seems that there is no strict priority in Firefox, that extensions
retrieve keys before a website does. It would be nice if there was (I
heard, in firefox 3.0 there will be changes to this)

Still would be nice to have a web site to test where I don't need to
register. You could also try to uncomment alert(key);
in the vimperator.js onVimperatorKeypress() function, and see whether the
Esc goes to vimperator first, or whether gmail gets it first.

Shouldn't probably cause problems then.
