[SOLVED] DNS Prefetching preference

Post by ron_1 » 2014-09-01, 21:58

On this thread here, there are instructions on how to disable DNS Prefetching. In following those instructions, I see that the needed entry already exists and is set properly (to disable). Was this added to later versions of Pale Moon? I don't remember ever adding this preference, and I've just recently installed a fresh copy of Pale Moon anyway.

[Should I have put this post in "Technical Chat"?]

DNS prefetching has been switched off by default in Pale Moon a long time ago and it's off in new installations. Note that the post linked to is old, from 2011, and I haven't thought of updating it when I switched the default to "off".

I've removed the instructions now since they are N/A ;)

Okay, thanks MC. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. ;)
