How about an applescript that scans a page and takes you to the printer-friendly, single-page version if it's available? :) Most sites have a “printer friendly” version of the article that displays everything in a single, long page - which I would prefer even over auto-moving between pages.

Instead of "Next" links they just have a list of numbered links at the bottom of the page. So I parse the current URL to figure out the index, and then search for a link with that number. Once I've found the linked page's URL, I don't think there's anything useful to do with it but go there. :) Hi Corey - I do something like that for Salon.com, actually.

Once I’ve found the linked page’s URL, I don’t think there’s anything useful to do with it but go there. :)

I wasn't aware that somebody else was working on something like this. I should definitely look into those FF extensions. I'd also like to expand the functionality to include "go back" but it has been much less pressing than the next function. Thanks, Faried.

It's <link rel="previous" href="blah"> and similarly for rel="next". I believe there are at least two Firefox extensions that add next/prev/up navigation links based on the link tags (one seems to guess, like your code does). Firefox even seems to prefetch the "next" link. Site authors can use link tags in their html to let browsers know what the next/prev links are.
