The new version has prefetching disabled by default (the user must enable it). It also contains a whitelist of user configurable sites on which prefetching should not occur. If you wish to block Fasterfox from prefetching your site, you can look for (and block) requests with the "X-moz: prefetch" tag as described in this FAQ: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/Link_Prefetching_FAQ.html Hope this helps, and don't hesitate to let me know if there is anything more I can do.

I've noticing problems with users that have Fasterfox installed. The problems is this: I have "dynamic urls", let's see, URLs that seem to be static (http://tienda.cyberdark.net/a-feast-for-crows-a-song-of-ice-and-fire-4-n247 0.html) but that are, in fact, php scripts that take some part of the request url (2470) and look in the database for the sheet of the book, via Mod_rewrite. Is a very convenient way to make good urls for search engines. All my site is made this way. When a user with Fasterfox cames, downloads almost the whole page, sending dozens of request to my server, that, as I said before, are dynamic, not static, making a high load on my server :( I know, maybe I shouldn't use .html extension for these kind of pages, but is very convenient. I'd suggest and update on fasterfox for it to be able to recognise some kind of meta-tag that could make webmasters disable fasterfox on the website the user is visiting.

New Fasterfox user here. I had a couple of ideas for ya that just popped into my head after a few minutes of browsing: a) an activity indicator of some kind The first thing I noticed after installing, configuring, and using fasterfox for the first time was that I had no idea what was being prefetched. It'd be cool to have some kind of indication that a particular link had already been loaded. Say, for example, the link color (or background color) could change, a little indicator icon could pop up by the link, or something along those lines. Taking this idea further, you could have some sort of indication of the current progress of that particular prefech instance so the user would know that a specific link was half done being prefetched and could read another article first. b) site profiles Let's say I visit one particular site regularly, with regular browsing patterns. A profile could be created (either manually or through automated history tracking) for that site that would prefetch those links that I'm most likely to visit first. Also along these lines, you could create some generic site categories (picture gallery, slideshow, etc) that would enable fasterfox to more accurately predict the next link to be clicked. So, there's my input! Thanks for developing this stuff for us! -Yoweigh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have the "Turbo" option selected. I tried to verify that prefetching was working, so I opened my cache directory in Explorer and then tried loading pages that had plenty of links that I expected would be prefetched (HTML files, JPG files, etc.-- one page I used was http://news.google.com ). However, after the initial page stopped loading, the overall file count and size of the cache directory didn't increase. This would seem to indicate that nothing was being prefetched. Am I interpreting this correctly?

It is not true, that pre-fetching does not load dynamic content. It could be dynamic content with .htm extension too, and, in fact, there is. 2. In our site one user with pre-fetching behaves like hundreds of usual users, especially on full website map page - and we must pay for this. 3. Prefetcher behaves like a robot and should follow robot rules - both written in robots.txt and in tag. I mean "nofollow" should stop prefetcher. There are traps for rude robots - invisible links to pages denied by robots.txt. Usual user cannot see these links and does not visit these traps. Pre-fetcher try to access forbidden pages and, in effect, causes denial of access for user. I think pre-fetching SHOULD obey robot rules. I would really appreciate indentifying prefetcher as special user-agent (i.e. "prefetcher") and possibility to create rules for it: 1. In robots.txt: User-agent: Prefetcher Disallow: ... ... 2.

I should change my properties in Extras > Einstellungen (ENGLISH VERSION: Tools > Properties) I looked up the settings and set them so, that even every website can install software on my computer. After this variation the mozilla site couldn't install the extension, either. I don't know what I should try to do or what I did wrong before. I would be pleased, if this mail would be answered soon and seriously.

AdSense ads are most definitely not prefetched by Fasterfox. The actual link for AdSense is something like "/pagead/iclk?sa=...", where the "..." is an encoded string that tells AdSense which link was clicked. Fasterfox uses Firefox's built in prefetching mechanism which always ignores any link that contains a "?". You can see for yourself here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/Link_Prefetching_FAQ.html If you still aren't convinced, I have AdSense on the http://fasterfox.mozdev.org, and my CTR currently is a measly 0.9%.

I used to have them in alphabetical order so, de-DE (German) was chosen as the default. I have since made en-US the first one, however there is a bug in Firefox which prevents it from ever changing the default once one is picked. The only real solution is to uninstall/reinstall Firefox completely which I know is a hassle. If you are interested in creating a Russian locale, I recommend checking out Babelzilla's WTS: http://www.babelzilla.org/index.php?option=com_wts&extension=217&type=lang I have also spoken in the past with two Russian translators that you might wish to coordinate with. Unfortunately, at the same time they sent me their translation for 0.8.1, I was in the process of upgrading Fasterfox to 1.0.0 which has a slightly different locale.

It is not true, that pre-fetching does not load dynamic content. It could be dynamic content with .htm extension too, and, in fact, there is. 2. In our site one user with pre-fetching behaves like hundreds of usual users, especially on full website map page - and we must pay for this. 3. Prefetcher behaves like a robot and should follow robot rules - both written in robots.txt and in tag. I mean "nofollow" should stop prefetcher. There are traps for rude robots - invisible links to pages denied by robots.txt. Usual user cannot see these links and does not visit these traps. Pre-fetcher try to access forbidden pages and, in effect, causes denial of access for user. I think pre-fetching SHOULD obey robot rules. I would really appreciate indentifying prefetcher as special user-agent (i.e. "prefetcher") and possibility to create rules for it: 1. In robots.txt: User-agent: Prefetcher Disallow: ... ... 2.

I have the "Turbo" option selected. I tried to verify that prefetching was working, so I opened my cache directory in Explorer and then tried loading pages that had plenty of links that I expected would be prefetched (HTML files, JPG files, etc.-- one page I used was http://news.google.com ). However, after the initial page stopped loading, the overall file count and size of the cache directory didn't increase. This would seem to indicate that nothing was being prefetched. Am I interpreting this correctly?

I like both of them, and will get them on the roadmap for future development. I've been kind of busy lately getting version 1.0.0 ready, and my next goal is to allow sites which don't have the bandwidth to spare some easy way to "opt-out" of prefetching such as specifying a meta tag or a line in the robots.txt file.

New Fasterfox user here. I had a couple of ideas for ya that just popped into my head after a few minutes of browsing: a) an activity indicator of some kind The first thing I noticed after installing, configuring, and using fasterfox for the first time was that I had no idea what was being prefetched. It'd be cool to have some kind of indication that a particular link had already been loaded. Say, for example, the link color (or background color) could change, a little indicator icon could pop up by the link, or something along those lines. Taking this idea further, you could have some sort of indication of the current progress of that particular prefech instance so the user would know that a specific link was half done being prefetched and could read another article first. b) site profiles Let's say I visit one particular site regularly, with regular browsing patterns. A profile could be created (either manually or through automated history tracking) for that site that would prefetch those links that I'm most likely to visit first. Also along these lines, you could create some generic site categories (picture gallery, slideshow, etc) that would enable fasterfox to more accurately predict the next link to be clicked. So, there's my input! Thanks for developing this stuff for us! -Yoweigh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This was an oversight on my part, and I will release version 1.0.1 very soon with the ability to resize the options window. As far as your second point is concerned, I agree with you in theory. Initially I placed the options in the "Tools>Options" menu because my logic, like yours, was that it was easier for users to access. However, there was a strong push-back from the Firefox developers on this point. Their design heuristic is that extension options belong in the extension manager and that it is if all extensions were to overlay the "Tools>Options" menu it would get very cluttered. For this reason, the decision was made to move it to the extension manager, and unless I get an overwhelming amount of requests to move it back, it will probably stay there. If you are trouble shooting over the phone, perhaps the easiest way for users to access them is to right click the page load timer in the lower right corner of the screen and select the options from there. Your thoughts?

"Courteous" does cache and rendering tweaks only "Optimized" enables prefetching, more connections, and pipelining "Turbo charged" makes the connection count and pipelining more aggressive. The problem is that prefetching, while ideal for a single-user network, causes problems in a multi-user network. The prefetching robs bandwidth from other people who are browsing at the same time and share the same line with you. There are also websites out there which now have detection of browsers using prefetching, and will Proactively block them from further access. The one site I've seen it on is a free service site that's already heavily overloaded. I was using "optimized" at the time I got blocked. I'd love to see a "optimized w/o prefetch" profile which is more friendly for multi-user sites. This would improve performance for the one user by increasing the parallelization of page loads, but would also limit bandwidth usage to only the pages actually loaded, thereby not slowing down everyone else. Sure, this can be done with custom, but I think it makes sense to have one profile that's optimal for multi-user networks and will increase page load speed without wasting local line bandwidth that other users might need. Will you please consider adding a more "middle of the road" setting to bridge the fairly large gap between "Courteous" and "optimized"? P.S. Thanks for the great plugin.

The "courteous" setting was the fastest (2.48 sec avg on cnn.com) and most consistent.

Without knowing more about how your system actually counts a file as downloaded, I can't really comment as to if Fasterfox is actually causing these to be downloaded or if people are just trying to get out of paying for them. You might be able to forward this response to the engineering team and let them know to contact me if they have questions. 1. Fasterfox only prefetches the following extensions: .gif, .htm, .html, .jpeg, .jpg, .pdf, .png, .text, .txt, and .xml MP3 files and extensions that are supposed to have dynamic content are never prefetched for any site. 2. Fasterfox version 1.0.1 and later, now allows sites to block prefetching by adding the following lines to your robots.txt file: User-agent: Fasterfox Disallow: / Note that "User-agent: *" is ignored. 3. Fasterfox version 1.0.0 also has a "whitelist" of sites that the user can edit to skip prefetching. 4. The following header is sent along with all prefetching requests: X-moz: prefetch Requests with this header can easily be blocked with a simple script in Apache and most web servers. The best suggestions I could offer would be to: 1. Make sure that dynamic content doesn't end with the extensions mentioned above which are intended for static content 2. Add the lines mentioned above to your robots.txt 3. Inform users to add "emusic.com" to their whitelist. 4. Block all prefetching requests with the X-moz: prefetch header. I hope this helps, and please don't hesitate to let me know if you still have questions.

I originally optimized the settings for my own 768k DSL connection on a pretty fast computer, and it works wonders for me. As soon as I published it, I got an overwhelming response from dialup users on how much it has helped them. At very least, Fasterfox allows you to tweak the settings so that they best suit your machine. You don't have to use a built in preset. If you search around the net, there are tons of guides on configuring these settings. Here's a great article to start with: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1854234,00.asp I'd also be interested to hear your experiences, what kind of connection you have, if the default settings help, and if you found settings that help more.

Please also consider 'throttling' Fasterfox so that at most it may use a limited amount of bandwidth. I would suggest maxing it at 10kb/sec, and limiting how many requests they make at a time. This would allow dial up users to prefetch at their maximum capacity, and broadband users to prefetch at a limited capacity. For dialup and 128 or 256 (even to some extent 512) kb adsl connections this would be enough to improve their experience with consideration to all parties involved. I cannot speak for all website owners, but I do pay $400/month in hosting, and I would be most open to leaving prefetching enabled in such a scenario. I'm quite sure that many others would stop condemning or arguing against prefetching with an implementation like that (and if they can opt out with robots.txt then they *have* no arguments anyway). Also I have a question - what happens when you link to a folder (http://some-website.com/stuff, as opposed to http://some-website.com/stuff/index.html) and the server's determining what document to display, is that prefetched?

Additionately images in the opened tab are not loaded correctly, e.g. progressive JPEG images still being blurry. This behavior is instantly gone when disabling prefetching in the options, so I guess this is the setting creating the "havoc". Currently I'm using Fasterfox 1.0.2 on Firefox 1.5.

As when 10-30 users who were on my forum this past week had their fasterfox preset enabled to turbo charged and where prefetching the links on my board. this caused: 1. my account being disabled on google adsense 2. mysql server to crash How happened. //google As users were prefetching links on the page it made the google bot think that i was running bots to click the ads. //server everytime a new registrant/guest/first time viewer views my board, the systems ads a session magic_quote on every link to tell the system he/she is logged in and to process it and also to tell the system where the user is. as the prefetch link was on, it queried everylink with the session id with it to be processes and it made aroun 500+ queries which then slowed down the server. The session process only processes on first entry of the user. if you enter http://forum.icefuzion.net most link will have &s=xxxxxxxxxxx added So i was wondering if you could declare some var in javascript with information that would be useful so that i can shut down some queries if only they are using turbo charged and prefetch url. we are using sessions to minimize brute force, hacks, etc.. please understand my situation -- My blog: http://blog.icelabz.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Whenever I try to use the "options" menu, the bottom of the menu box is cut off. With the bottom cut off, there is no access to the "OK" button, thus no options can be changed! I've tried to move the "options" menu box, to hide the toolbar, to hide the status bar, but it does not help the problem. Thank you.

My firefox browser has been crashing on the Drudgereport.com and Excite mail sites. As soon as I turned off prefetch they work fine. On excite mail, prefetching seems to hand whenever the site draws from imgfarm.com. On Drudge, seemed to fail when drawing main page links from yimg.com - I'm not a techie but these leads might help.

I thought that the older versions were great. However, versions 1.0.1 and now 1.0.2 cannot display properly on my Windows XP SP2 system. The "options" menu is cut off at the bottom, and hiding the taskbar does not fix this problem. With the "options" menu cut off, there is no access to the "OK" button, so no settings can be changed. Another problem: On the page for Browser Cache Capacity, the boxes for Memory Cache and Disk Cache are just narrow slits instead of boxes. The numbers in then cannot be read. I had to roll back from 1.0.1 to 0.8 and now I see that 1.0.2 has the same problems. I am sure you folks will be able to fix these glitches in an otherwise fine program. Thank you.

I recently noticed the prefetching feature, and enabled it. Since then,(I just figured out) Firefox started freezing randomly when opening links. The links are apparently "prefetched" ones. Possibly, when you click a link in the process of being prefetched, browser freezes until prefetching is completed. I noticed instances that after the freeze, the complete page shows immediately. Disabling the feature, everything is back to normal. I suppose this issue requires some attention. Prefetching could be a good feature, but it looks like it is premature, yet. Lastly, a more detailed and explanatory configuration for prefetch filters would be nice (prepopulated filter expressions for example) for ordinary users. Anyway, thanks for the nice plugin.

There is one cool feature though that is missing. As I reload a page over and over again, I can only see the last amount of time it took the page to load. It would be great if I could double-click the Page Load Timer and get a popup that shows me a running list of like the last 20 time values along with an average of the values in the list.

Alot of them use phpBB and other web BB applications on their sites, and I can't tell you how many times a ton of their users start wondering why they are getting no connection from the web server, or the web admins wondering why their BBs are crashing their database servers trying to fill normal traffic. Not only does it come across looking like a small scale HTTP zombie attack in such instances, alot of times the admins just get fed up with it and start banning IPs via iptables or their hardware firewall. I appreciate your earnest efforts in trying to improve web browsing in general, but this is not the way to do it IMHO. This being an open source project people can abuse such code (Not to say that I'm against open source in the least) and take out what safeguards you have put in to prevent against this abuse, some probably trying to do their own honest web browsing improvement project. Anyway, I just hope these thoughts have come into consideration on your team and appreciate you taking the time to hear me voice my opinion. -- Cody G.

I mean, Internet Explorer is faster than FasterFox! Now that is a HUGE discrase to Firefox. Internet Explorer is supposed to be the old clunky browser. Either fix it, or just get rid of the fasterfox. Its not doing any good right now. I Love Firefox, I want you guys to be better than Internet Explorer and shove it in their fat greasy faces down at Microsoft, prove that someone else can make a better web browser than everyone. I know Firefox is better than Internet Explorer, its just some people dont know that, you have to prove it. And its extensions like FasterFox that prove that Internet Explorer is better. I want lightning speed from you guys. There shouldnt even be a stupid counter on FasterFox, because Firefox should be faster than anything that can count. _______________________________________________ Fasterfox mailing list Fasterfox@mozdev.org http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/fasterfox From gentilac at slu.edu Thu Dec 29 11:55:59 2005 From: gentilac at slu.edu (Tony Gentilcore) Date: Thu Dec 29 12:56:52 2005 Subject: [Fasterfox] privacy In-Reply-To: <4de91270512230222x7b80cd24s9841b3859441c693@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: JLC, Fasterfox poses no privacy threat such as routing your requests through another server or monitoring your surfing habits. It is open source and has been reviewed by many developers. One thing you should be aware of is that enhanced prefetching will load some pages before you click them. This will cause it to appear to a program that monitors your surfing as thought you actually visited these pages (even though they will not show up in your browser's history). If this bothers you for any reason, I would recommend not enabling the enhanced prefetching feature.

In-Reply-To: <331c41200512271541o1745351eifb938d8c11e8bda@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: Hi Gus, The primary mission of Fasterfox is to speed up surfing for the majority of web surfers. The benefit of the page load timer to web developers is kind of ancillary. I would be slightly hesitant to expand on these types of features in Fasterfox because the majority of users would probably not need them. However, this brings up an interesting idea. If you have ideas for other common tasks you perform as a web developer, maybe a spinoff extension might be in order. A kind of "web developer's extension" that has a whole collection of features. Please let me know if you have more ideas.

Hi there, I love FasterFox, not only has it sped up my browsing, but now I use it at work to help with my timing of page loads. There is one cool feature though that is missing. As I reload a page over and over again, I can only see the last amount of time it took the page to load. It would be great if I could double-click the Page Load Timer and get a popup that shows me a running list of like the last 20 time values along with an average of the values in the list. Wouldn't that be great!?! :) Hope you guys can squeeze it into the next release. Great software by the way! :D Gus Los Angeles, CA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

May I ask which version of Fasterfox you are attempting to use? There is, however, good news on the way in your particular case. A Danish locale is in the final stages of testing before it is released...

If I install this extension to test it out, and decide for whatever reason I don't want to use it anymore, after uninstalling, does Firefox settings go back to what they were before installing the extension? I don't want to install it if it is going to change settings that I would have to manually change after uninstalling it using the about:config area. Maybe this could be addressed in the FAQ.

Hello, I have a question about the Enhanced Prefetching Option. Does fasterfox only prefetch those items ending in: .gif, .htm, .html, .jpeg, .jpg, .pdf, .png, .text, .txt, and .xml ? Or does the enhanced preteching download more than that? Thanks, Daniel Davis __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Excluding "google" doesn't change things, but prohibiting "tomsnetworking.de"[1] cures. *wonder* Even better, resp. more concrete: http://www.google.de/search?q=inurl:tomsnetworking.de&num=50&filter=0 BTW: While waiting there is no network traffic at all. Seems as if we need an (additional?) timeout (for unreachable pages) ...? Greets, Dirk - possibly a dupe of bug#12501? P.S.: What about the "end page" event? Why does he try to prefetch anyway before the page is displayed completely? ----- [1] This was the only one which did not load at all when opening all links in tabs. Surprisingly Firefox waits for five(!) minutes till it gives up trying if you open the URL in an own tab or window. -- "You never know what is enough until you know what is too much."
