Firefox 1.0.7 has the prefetch as default and I have been able to deny any firefox 1.0.7 access by adding the following lines into .htaccess
RewriteCond %{HTTP:x-moz} ^prefetch [OR]
RewriteCond %{X-moz} ^prefetch 

I have also added the following lines into header.php

//stop prefetching
if ((isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_MOZ'])) && ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_MOZ'] == 'prefetch')) {
    header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
    echo '403: Forbidden<br><br>Prefetching not allowed.';
    exit;
}

It seems not working. Firefox 1.5 with prefetch on will continue the crawling through all the links except it is getting 403 denied (I am not sure if it is because of the codes or the the lines in .htaccess - I have not done the test).

If protector could detect "prefetch", then it would be great if it could stop the crawling right away so no valuable resource get wasted by prefetch.

I am seriously thinking of banning firefox all together (including those with prefetch off) because of this extremly abusive feature.
