One of the dumbest features modern browsers have integrated for some reason. > Prefetching videos without user knowledge is just terrorism! > ...and there is no possibility in Firesuck to stop this. Setting network.prefetch-next to false seems to be the first result on looking up, but I presume that failed. There may be something working along the lines of media.autoplay.enabled or other "media." options. If those don't work nor anything in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections, you might need to disable video support. All of it. Yeah, it sucks. > Thanks in advance Good luck.
