Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > [! Not needed: TorBrowser already has correct configuration] Stops
 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.
