Vissa webbplatser har stoppat användare med Fasterfox pluginen till Firefox..

Hur gör dom detta?

Och varför gör dem detta?
Tycker att det borde vara samma antal bitar som skall hämtas för att ladda en sida, borde ju inte påverka om de hämtas paralellt.

Anledningen till att den blockas är pga prefetching som är påslaget som standard. Från http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/:

"Prefetching" is the silent loading of links in the background before you click them. This speeds up browsing because in many cases, by the time you click a link it is already cached on your machine and there is zero load time needed.

By default, Firefox prefetches links which are explicitly marked by the web page designer to be prefetched. This is seldom done in practice, so you rarely benefit from it.

Fasterfox's "Enhanced Prefetching" causes all of the links on the page to be eligible for prefetching, which leads to a very noticeable difference in snappiness while surfing the web.

Prior to generating any prefetching requests, Fasterfox checks for a file named "robots.txt" in your site's root directory (subdirectories are not checked). If this file contains the following 2 lines, no prefetching requests will be made to your domain:

User-agent: Fasterfox
Disallow: /
