[Fasterfox] FasterFox feature request

Hi,

great extension!

now that I've switched to Fasterfox, I've dropped the extension Tweak
Network, and my own Greasemonkey script for prefetching.

I have a couple of feature requests from what I miss in my prefetching:

1. prefetching extensions extended to
[sx]?[h]?tm[l]?, xht, gif, jp[e]?[g]?, .png, .css, .js, .txt, .xml,
urls without extensions, .jsp, .asp, .svg, .svgz, .asc, .txt, .text

2. prefetching allowed *only* on urls (from and to)
http://
(i.e. no https, no ftp)

3. no prefetching from urls containing (from and to)
? cgi-bin

and fancy stuff:

4. user selectable % of links to prefetch 0-100% (preset at say 60%),
combined with max links per page = 20

5. random link selection (needed for 4.)

6. random timers on link download

I know you might have some of these already but found none of them
listed in the documentation. I think it would be nice to document the
prefetching rules explicitly so users know what they're downloading.

hope this helps

regards Johnny
