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. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3978#comment:8> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
