Comment (by mcs):

 Kathy and I agree with gk's analysis (#comment:1).  We looked at code and
 did some testing in gdb to confirm.

 There is one more related preference: network.predictor.enable-hover-on-
 ssl.  This is false by default, which further disables "on hover"
 speculative connections when the containing page is an https:// one.
