Running Fasterfox is kinda like every time you go to a web site, you
also start a recursive wget on it.

So the WebAdmin has to decide if you using insane amount of his
resources is worth having you as a user.

Fasterfox also violates RFC reconmendation for good behavior.

Kinda like visiting someone and emptying the fridge drinking all the
beer and taking there car for a spin, your taking liberties with the
service beyond what a friendly invitation implies.

Just because something is possible, does not mean it doesn't harm others
that you do it.
