1148867 - Cache next web page based on user clicking same button multiple times to improve User experience

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 730101

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement)

Description

[vasanth]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20150320202338

Steps to reproduce:

This is not a bug! I'm suggesting a feature to Mozilla.

While reading in a website which has multiple pages about a single topic, user usually clicks "next" once they complete reading current page.



Actual results:

After they click next, browser will send a request to website to get the next page and user has to wait till then.
When net connection is slow, it will take time to get the next page and that degrades user experience.



Expected results:

Better thing to do is to predict user may click next page if he has clicked same button few times before and get it while user is reading from current page.

This is about preload/prerender.  Networking: Cache is not the right component for this.

This seems like something that would best be done on the page side using <link rel=prerender> which is being worked on in Gecko in bug 730101. It's a good idea! I'm going to dupe this to the prerendering bug as support for that is key.
