    Firefox Prefetching

    Does Firefox automatically enable prefetching after each update Of Mozilla Firefox? If so, any way to permanently turn it off(I consider it a safety issue, and useless)? If prefetching is turned on by default after each update, any ideas of how to turn it off? If it doesn't never mind then. Thank you for any "real" contributions.

    Any tips on how to disable prefetching through boot up script?? Are there any other methods possible, or is this the only one?

    I've used several of the about:config tweaks successfully - never worried about prefetching, but here you go:
