Description

I often use visual mode as a guide to read long articles and found that being able to go to next sentence is very helpful (by pressing "(").
This features works on my Chromium, but doesn't seem to work on Firefox.

Firefox version: 57.0.3 (64-bit)
Vimium-ff plugin version: 1.62.8

In case it's useful:
Chromium version: Version 63.0.3239.84 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit)
Vimium version: 1.62.4

Research direction

Start by reproducing visual-mode sentence navigation with “(” and “)” in Firefox 57.0.3, then compare the same keys in Chromium using the reported Vimium versions. Done means both keys navigate to the previous or next sentence in Firefox as they do in Chromium.
