Firefox’s Prefetch Setting

Did you know there is a setting in Firefox that enables it to try to guess which web pages you will be visiting next? It then downloads these pages and stores them to make them quickly available to you if you actually visit the page. I personally don’t like this setting. It can cause Firefox to use resources to cache web pages I may never visit. I disabled this setting. Here’s how.
1. Type about:config in the address bar and press ENTER.
2. Locate the entry for network.prefetch-next
3. Set it to false to disable this feature. Double-clicking on the setting will change it.
