   Indeed, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573748

   These days, a bunch of sites still support it because they use some sort   
   of content management system which makes use of LINK with the REL   
   attribute, so you may encounter e.g. blogs or some webforum where the   
   prev/next buttons navigate through the pagination.   
      
   In Bugzilla, at least bugzilla.mozilla.org, the first/prev/next/last   
   buttons are populated from a search (list?), and I also get a list of   
   saved searches under More.   
      
   The Website Navigation Bar also has RSS/Atom feeds (in this specific   
   case, this is also available in the location bar), as well as links for   
   "alternate" versions of a page (in some cases this will include "amp" or   
   "amphtml" which in news outlets sometimes shows a more readable version   
   of an article).
