Combine multi-paged articles in Firefox

Some websites, especially commercial ones, try to increase their pageviews by dividing their articles onto several pages. A user who wants to read the complete article has to load several pages of the websites (hence the term pageviews) to read the article. Some websites provide a print option that surprisingly displays all parts of the article. This is used by many to read the article in one go, without advertisement or clicking next.

Then there are websites who divided articles but do not offer a print option on their pages. Enter Repagination for Firefox /via Lifehacker/. This Firefox add-on can combine multi-paged articles on one page, to be precise on the first page that is already loaded. To be precise, the contents of the other parts of the article are added at the bottom of the current part. It works this way that the full page is loaded below and not only the article, so navigation and other elements are also doubled.

The other parts of an article can be loaded by right-clicking on a next or numbered link that usually is located below the first part of the article. The advantage of this approach is that the other parts of the article do not have to be loaded separately. It works well on many websites but not on all. It works best on websites that explicitly use next or a numbered approach but not that great on paged articles that use titles instead for the next parts.

For example articles on pcmag work fine while articles on pcworld load only the next part and not all parts of the article. It would also be nice if an option would exist that would automate this feature for selected websites. Adding a whitelist for websites that you visit regularly would be great so that the manual right-click would not be longer needed.
