Since there are many pages to look though, trying to find an ext. and pages are
unlikely to change during browsing, I suggest adding support for link
prefetching, which is enabled in firefox, to give a much better experience.

offtopic:
Another solution could be redesigning the updates/extensions site - imho it is
very cumbersome finding what you need and the categories are very confusing.

Reproducible: Always

yes, link rel=next would be useful.  The search box at the top can help you find
something specific.

Mass change - bugs to be read / (re)confirmed.

I don't think we want to do prefetching ourselves; not likely to be worth the complexity or bandwidth, especially given the current speed of the site (much improved since the original filing).
