  No, they're not doing that, it's Firefox's pre-fetching that does that. It's fetching parts of the linked sites, and in doing so, the site is trying to set a cookie. Google has nothing to do with this.

    No, Google is directing your browser to prefetch the linked site by inserting <link rel="prefetch" href="http://example.com"> for links they think you'll visit. http://tr.ashcan.org/2008/12/keeping-tabs-on-googles-confidence-with-greasemonkey.html http://tr.ashcan.org/2008/12/keeping-tabs-on-googles-confide... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_prefetching http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_prefetching
