What is pipelining if it doesn't involve prefetching.
http://www.google.com/search?&q=http+pipelining <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining>:
HTTP pipelining is a technique in which multiple HTTP requests are written out to a single socket without waiting for the corresponding responses...
It is used to make "simultaneous" requests for number of resources linked in a page, but link prefetching is completely different feature:
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Link_prefetching_FAQ>:
... A web page provides a set of prefetching hints to the browser, and after the browser is finished loading the page, it begins silently prefetching specified documents and stores them in its cache... What are the prefetching hints? The browser looks for either an HTML link tag or an HTTP Link: header with a relation type of either next or prefetch... Are anchor (<a>) tags prefetched? No, only <link> tags with a relation type of next or prefetch are prefetched...
Given all this I guess Theo might be using an extension which forces the behavior of prefetching all links found on a page as it doesn't seem an expected behavior. Theo might try starting in safe mode or with a fresh new profile to see if the behavior persists.
