To add to Emmanuel's comments about the user-agent, another way you can limit the effect of FasterFox is to deny it in robots.txt (see http://www.robotstxt.org/) Put these lines in your robots.txt file: User-agent: Fasterfox Disallow: / According to the robot exclusion standard, robots are supposed to access this file first on hitting a website and then obey the instructions therein that aplpy to them. In the case of FF, the above lines say "take a hike". The original version of fasterfox didn't bother to check robots.txt (I don't think the developers had heard of it) but after some representations from the web admin community, the current version now obeys it. Note that the robot exclusion standard is a voluntary code - most well-behaved robots obey it (eg, htDig) but there is nothing to stop an evil-bot from ignoring it completely.
