DNS Prefetching speeds up your browsing experience by resolving and caching DNS lookups before you actually click on a link. Without this technique, the DNS lookup is performed only when you click on the link, adding a wait of 250ms (on average) before the page even starts to show up.

Only useful with versions prior to 3.5, since otherwise Firefox already has prefetching capabilities. Remember this incrases your overhead.
