Hi all, I've noticed a patter several times a day - page loads and then almost immidiately several links from that page are loaded too. Too fast for human. All come from : Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; nl-NL; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050920 Firefox/1.0.7 All have Firefox. Same IP and about one second difference one from eachother. Is it some feature of Firefox that it preloads pages ? May be it's good for surfer, but then I can't know what exactly did he saw. Thanks.
No, I don't think that firefox has a preload feature. At least not one that I know of. Have you considered that it might be someone who wants to read all your articles opening them each manually in quick sucession in a new tab for later reading at leisure? That's what I do when I visit my news sites. - Jamie
There is the feature in Firefox: Pipelining... You can tell firefox to pipeline the requests. http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips
I dont' think so, because 1. they are loaded almost at the same second. 2. some link are hardly visible
As JamieC pointed out i commonly for example when viewing an forum listing page will open numerous pages within quickly in new tabs then browse through each one afterwards.
