That's all just a diversion so Tiger Shark won't know where the invasion is coming from.
Connection refused, try again later.

Nah, we would just commandeer one of Detroits 2 paddlewheelers and come ashore down by Amherstburgh, like through Bob-lo..............or if it's still there zug island....

What version of FF are you using.....this link has some info on prefetching with FF..
http://www.edochan.com/programming/pf.htm
I ran the little test:
Link prefetching is a browser mechanism, which utilizes browser idle time to download or prefetch documents that the user might visit in the near future. You need cookies enabled for this test to work.
Variable Setting
Prefetch is working.
Prefetch referer Your browser sent the required X-Moz header and sent the following referer header along with the prefetch request:

Sad what politics will do to something which had so much promise as well as so much of a threat to the other Airplane makers
Sometime between the U.S. president's visit to Canada in July of 1958 and December of 1958, an agreement was reached with the U.S. that if the Arrow and its support systems were cancelled and Canada agreed to use U.S. equipment, there would be defence production sharing between Canada and the U.S. There is no indication of who initiated this agreement
hhmmm talk about a conspiracy theory.....

What I can get from reading some of the others, is maybe a conflict with the cache or the google web accelerator.....???wow the Steelers are kicking butt......
Are there any restrictions on what is prefetched?
Yes, only http:// URLs can be prefetched ( https:// URLs are never prefetched for security reasons). Other protocols (such as FTP) do not provide rich enough support for client side caching. In addition to this restriction, URLs with a query string are not prefetched. This is done because such URLs often result in documents that cannot be reused out of the browser's cache, so prefetching them often has little benefit. We found that some existing sites utilize the <link rel="next"> tag with URLs containing query strings to reference the next document in a series of documents. Bugzilla is an example of such a site that does this, and it turns out that the Bugzilla bug reports are not cachable, so prefetching these URLs would nearly double the load on poor Bugzilla! It's easy to imagine other sites being designed like Bugzilla, so we explicitly do not prefetch URLs with query strings. (It might make sense to allow prefetching of these documents when the rel=prefetchrelation type is specified, since this should not appear in any existing content.) There are no other restrictions on the URLs that are prefetched.

Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with Fasterfox's unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.
http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/
Just from the description, it sounds evil to me. What happens when you hit a page
that has a big number of links. Not only are you needlessly accessing all those
servers, but wasting your own bandwidth. With four computers online,
there is no such thing as idle bandwidth in my household.
More...
It seems that there is evil afoot. I did a little more research on "prefetch"
and a lot of people are bitching about it. It apparently comes in two forms.
One is like fasterfox, and prefetches all links, unless excluded by robots.txt.
The other doesn't require the fastfox addon, but prefetches links designated
by the web page for prefetching. The plot thickens. It seems that Google
marks the top search result for prefetching, so your browser automatically
downloads the page, assuming that you would click that link anyway.
http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/f....html#prefetch
It probably distorts the statistics by generating extra hits on those pages.
No wonder people will kill to get top rating in a google search. Once you are on top
you get the artificial benefit of prefetch to keep you there. AFAIK, Internet Explorer
is not (yet) guilty of this behavior.
I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.
