It's better than bogus: it's case-sensitive. Using /prefetch:1 would
make your first startup after adding it a bit slower, and then make
subsequent runs a tiny bit slower (Firefox's commandline parsing and
dropping the "unrecognized commandline flag: prefetch" in the error
console isn't quite free), but using /Prefetch:1, as you can see by
watching your Windows/Prefetch directory, does nothing but pass an
unrecognized commandline flag to Firefox.
