Description: If you use the Firefox browser in conjunction with the Google search engine, Google will (under various circumstances) prefetch the first page returned in the results. In other words, that page and any cookies associated will be downloaded to your computer even though you never clicked the link. Here's how to disable this Google / Firefox "feature". |
