Google enhances search for Firefox
Google will use the Mozilla Link prefetching feature to make user searches faster. I already see a potential problem here. Think of the cases where your search results include links to *inappropriate* sites which are normally banned from being accessed from corporate environs. Prefetching is no different from you actually clicking the link. So some users could potentially get into issues here. Luckily Google has a way to actually disable this feature as well.
Update : InsideGoogle notes another problem(?). Prefetching pages like this could cause websites to register a site hit even if no one actually visited the website.:)

Hey KrishnaKumar! Just out blog surfing and I found your blog and we work for the same company!
I work in Dallas - actually the Spring Creek Camups in Plano - I have lots of friends from India and Du Bai and I hear that Bangalore is really a neat place to go.
Well, nice blog, take care!

Hey Eddie, Nice to know that you work at the Spring creek campus. I have been to Dallas/Houston, but never to the SpringCreek Campus.
And Yup, Bangalore is a nice place to be, except for the traffic :)
And also, thanks for dropping by.
