---- Google Enables FireFox Prefetching

Today Google announced on their blog (it won't let me post a link, search for it) that they now offer "Enhanced searching with Firefox". This boils down to instructing Firefox to "prefetch" [google.com] search results, meaning that every time I search on Google I will be visiting all sorts of web sites that I do not want to visit. Getting all sorts of cookies that I don't want to get. Does anyone else feel that this is a huge violation of online privacy? Or am I just paranoid? :)
