[Usability]Mozilla & Link Prefetching UI Sanity

[Jeff Waugh <jdub perkypants org>]

Hey gang,

Good news for usability ideals from the Mozilla Project. Just read this in
the Link Prefetching FAQ:

  "We are considering adding UI for this preference; however, the overriding
  theory is that if link prefetching needs to be disabled then there must be
  something wrong with the implementation. We would rather improve the
  implementation if it does not work correctly, than simply expect users to
  locate some obscure preference in the preferences UI. Heck, the Mozilla
  preferences UI is already crowded enough ;-)"

Just to make the point:

  "[...] the overriding theory is that if link prefetching needs to be
  disabled then there must be something wrong with the implementation."

The entire FAQ is here:
