Wget calls were not sufficient to keep me logged in. This was no surprise.
The web site creates a cookie, and if I delete it I have to log in again.

That worked great! It refreshes the connection, keeps me logged in, and
doesn't raise the browser window. And unlike my old hacky method, it doesn't
create a new tab each time. I was surprised that the installation procedure
didn't ask me to choose between Linux and other OSs. Maybe the extension
files are the same in any case, or maybe the XPInstall system figures it out.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
