 !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);
 }}}
