SPDY has some nice tracking features we don't want and which we need to
cope with first:

"However, because SPDY can store identifiers and has extremely long
keepalive duration, it is disabled through the Firefox preference
network.http.spdy.enabled."

See as well:

If you'd like to work on that topic you are very welcome.
