I know a lot about HTML, but all this time I don't know what the <LINK>
tags in the head do. There are those that call a stylesheet, favicon,
etc. But what about those that state the contents of the page, identify
the next and previous page, etc. Do some browsers support them or are
they just for organization or something?

Firefox has -- or had -- an extension that would give users access to
the urls in <link> elements. The extension does not work with the latest
version, and there have been no updates for some time. :-(
Opera has this built in. There are a few other browsers that also have
support for it. As you might have guessed, IE is not one.

The Mozilla / SeaMonkey suite has native support for LINK elements, one
reason I prefer it over the more-hyped Firefox.

This reason alone makes me want to figure out how to do scripting in FF,
so I can write a new LINK bar. I was a big proponent of LINK support in
Mozilla, and it's one thing I still miss in FF.

It doesn't work, or the extension won't install?
Here's why I ask, and here's a general tip for other FF extension fans:
I wanted an extension for 1.5 that only was rated up to FF 0.8. I
didn't notice, that, and of course the install went south.
I was looking at the home page for that extension and happened to notice a
post in is forum that said it would work fine if you tweaned what I'll
call the "permissable version" line in the targetInstallation
of the install.rdf that is contained by the .xpi file that comprises the
distribution file for the extension.
I changed that line to read:
<em:maxVersion>1.6</em:maxVersion>
from 0.8, and it worked fine here in FF/Linux.
I shared this with a friend who uses WinXP, and for good measure he
changed the value to 2.0 and his installation works fine, too.
I just looked at some other install.rdf files in extension packages, and
they all had that line.
So: if it won't install, that's something to try.

FYI, the seamonkey/mozilla suite supports it natively. The Firefox
extension is crappy in comparison.

Seamonkey 1.0, 1.1 and 1.5a supports it.
Firefox 1.0.x supports but you have to download the extension.
Firefox 1.5.x also supports it. Look for attachment 3774 at http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13069
