Firefox automatically prefetching (loading) the contents of pages linked
to by the page you are viewing – in most cases you will never visit those
links so this time is wasted and it is a security risk because you are
unwittingly downloading (possible virus/adult) content only linked to by
the current page but which you have not chosen to load. Default is True.
user_pref("network.prefetch-next", false);
Current TBB have "network.prefetch-next: true". This should be "false" by
default.
