[closed] bug/error: Prefetching is not allowed

[danIT]

When I search for Edugeek using Google in Firefox 3.0.1 and then click on the listing in Google I get the message:

 

Prefetching is not allowed due to the various privacy issues that arise.

 

And cannot get to EduGeek. However i do not get this problem using IE6/7.

Same here with FF3, Google and also Yahoo.

FF3 here and was working fine this morning.

 

Now when I click the bookmark within FF3 I get the same error.

Do you have the fasterfox extension installed?

Grr its doing it again. I know why now as I updated to 3.73 and overrode the fix I made before.

Will let you know once its done.

BTW this can be caused by the google toolbar or google accelerator. It only happens if your are logged in as a member due to google basically ignoring the headers sent back to the browser to stop caching. It caches regardless so to prevent people seeing a cached page of your sign in vbulletin locks you out.

[ZeroHour]

Disabled prefetch detection for now anyway so it shouldnt happen again (until the next upgrade for vbulletin anyway)

I just got this today from clicking the link from Google, FF 3.6.8

No Fasterfox or google toolbar or anything else installed.
