I was just looking at my netstat output as soon as I fired FF and guess what I saw! There was also a connection to 212.58.226.19 which is one of the IP's for BBC online news and just as it happens that was the second next address in FF's dropdown address bar. This happens despite having toggled the network.prefetch-next to false. Is there anything else I can toggle for this setting to work as it is supposed to? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
