Firefox Auto Pager extention
Latest Firefox Extension I cannon live without is Auto Pager.
Sites like Salon.com, Slate.com and nytimes.com feel the need to divide up the pages like they think I can’t concentrate for 5 pages of text all on one page. Reading 4 paragraphs and then having to click the “Next Page” button is a pain. So, here is this extension that automatically appends the next page to the bottom of the page you are on, so your reading does not get interrupted. With Auto Pager, if I load a site and then disconnect from the internet for some reason, I still have my entire article loaded in the browser for offline reading. Some, but not all, sites do have “show entire article” buttons, but this extension gives this feature to every web site.
There are many built-in sets of rules for common websites and common website software. phpBB, Google, nytimes, etc. For websites without existing rules, there is a nice wizard in Auto Pager to make new rules. The wizard allows you to click on the link that loads the next page so that it stores that and uses it every time you visit the site. It also allows you to specify which content (for example headers can be excluded) to load repeatedly. After a short learning process, most sites were very easy to create rules for. Settings allow you to control how many pages load by default.
I’m not sure yet about the privacy implications.
