Fasterfox is a Mozilla Firefox extension that provides an interface to tweak some performance related settings such as browser network connection, cache, timings, as well as provide an optional controversial feature which forces Link prefetching. These changes can decrease (or if suboptimally set, increase) page loading time. Since 2007, the original extension is not maintained by the developer Tony Gentilcore and is not compatible with Firefox 3.0 or later. As of August 2008, there are alternative extensions that are compatible with Firefox 3.6, such as "Fasterfox" (Rsccman Production)
Fasterfox is a Mozilla firefox extensions for setting out a browser performance for a website like its loading time.
This new feature allows webmasters to add the following text (in bold) to their robots.txt file to prevent Fasterfox from pre-fetching links. Text To Add To “robots.txtâ€: User-agent: Fasterfox Disallow: / Adding these two lines somewhere in your robots.txt file and placing it in the root folder will prevent Fasterfox from pre-fetching links anywhere on your site. (ex: yourwebsite.com/robots.txt) Webmasters can modify the text so that Fasterfox will only be prevented from pre-fetching on specified directories.
The newer version of the Firefox has provided some extended features but has also changed some features that used to work with the older version and there has been some problem with a couple of add-on's too. Coming back to the point I think that Firefox might have just changed the way it used to work and so need to find a different way around.
