When I was complianing about excessive bandwidth useage on this list, prefetch was the culprit. Specifically, FF prefetched links when I had mod_rewrite enabled for Gregarius. Since then, I have not used the mod_rewrite option and have disabled prefecth from FF. So is this option necessary? It seems like FF does prefetching when it sees it fit. > > Currently mozilla browsers support the rel=prefetch tag for links.
