#3010: TorButton 1.3.2 alpha does not disable link prefetching

!TorButton 1.3.2 alpha rightly disables DNS prefetching, yet it does not
disable link prefetching. I believe !TorButton should disable link
prefetching to increase privacy and reduce load on Tor network (re
unnecessary traffic); see:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Link_prefetching_FAQ
I use the following setting in user.js:
{{{
user_pref("network.prefetch-next", false);
}}}
