You got it wrong too.The certificate is popping right after the "google" search, not after clicking on any of the links. I have attached the screenshot at the bugzilla link mentioned before.
Google includes a prefetch link for the search first result which causes Firefox to prefetch the URL. You can disable this behavior in Firefox by going to "about:config", filter on "network.prefetch-next" and set it to "false". More info here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.prefetch-next https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Link_prefetching_FAQ That second URL mentions pre-fetching on HTTPS was originally disabled for security reasons, but in FF3.5 was enabled. Perhaps you could make the argument that it should be disabled again via your bug. - Bil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
