Thank you all for some useful and "interesting" (strange??) replies.
There is no decrease in stolen bandwidth - still approx 5 - 6Mbyte/10min
using Reko's settings:-
browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled = false
browser.safebrowsing.enabled = false
I notice that there are five other 'browser.safebrowsing.' entries with
various https addresses with google.com as part of the string:-
browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL
browser.safebrowsing.gethashURL
browser.safebrowsing.malware.reportURL
browser.safebrowsing.reportURL
browser.safebrowsing.updateURL
There is also a geko.handlerService with google.com as part of the string.
Extensions and/or add-ons installed:-
Plugins:-
DivX Browser Plug-in
Gnome Shell Integration
iTunes Applications Detector
mplayerplug-in is now gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.6
Quicktime Plug-in 7.6.9
Realplayer 9
Shockwave Flash 11.2.202.411
Shockwave Flash 12.1.r601

Flash Video Downloader Full HD Di=ownload (4K) 6.8.3
Flashblock 1.5.17
Flashgot 1.5.6.8
TrackMeNot 0.8.13
WorldIP 3.0.8
While I was checking the about:config and the Plugins and Extensions
22MByte went down the google gurgler &*^*&^*%$% even with Reko's
settings in place.
Some of the traffic is on HTTP, but most (and most persistent) is on
HTTPS. It starts off with a number (4 - 8?) of 74.125.237.xxx addresses
of mixed HTTP and HTTPS, but after a while, the HTTP drop out, leaving
only two HTTPS. This process could take about ten minutes. Ten minutes
of Wireshark file capture could get quite large unless I filter on that
74.125.237.xxx address range. While this may reduce the file upload
size, may we not be missing some sort of 'other' IP address 'calling' or
'beaconing' for itwa / google to start their BS?
As for LLamas, Yeti's and other furry animals:-
I subscribe to as little as possible and this includes Llamas, Yeti's
and even Alpaccas, but I believe that Alpaccas are on the upgrade in
Aus. ;-)
Thanks and regards
Alex
