I hadn't noticed that one. The default seems to be
true, which seems to make sense. Why do DNS lookups for sites you might
not visit?
You must be correct.
I was going crazy turning stuff from true to false, but this is one that
is probably best left at false if we're trying to eliminate Firefox going
to domains that we didn't explicitly state.
Surely if you don't want it to prefetch, then disablePrefetch should be
true?

Don't hit the keys so hard, it hurts.
