There's an extension for that:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2933/
Opera does have the buttons available. Also I believe that Opera will,
e.g., follow a <link rel="next"> if you hit space at the end of a page.
But yes, it's a real shame that most browsers don't have these easily
accessible to the user. They're neat features.
Search engines might use them as well but I don't know any details.
