Thanks, I followed all of those instructions and FF is still making the connections. I found out that those to AWS are actually for hostnames in mozilla.com and mozaws.net domains, so I blocked those in DNS. So far I haven't figured out what the cloudfront.net actually does/is, I will probably try to install some proxy which hopefully can give me that info. > https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js I downloaded that and wrote a very simple script to compare the settings with mine (see below), I will probably do the same for prefs.js from TOR. Thanks for all the help! BTW: I also tried iridium and the first thing it did was to connect to some google domain. #!/bin/sh fail() { echo "$0: $@" exit 1 } VERBOSE=false while getopts v FLAG do case "${FLAG}" in v) VERBOSE=true;; esac done shift `expr ${OPTIND} - 1` [ $# -ge 2 ] || fail "missing args" OK=$1 CHK=$2 [ -s $OK ] || fail "missing $OK" [ -s $CHK ] || fail "missing $OK" grep '^user_pref(' $OK | \ sed -e 's/user_pref("//' \ -e 's/",[ ]*/ /' \ -e 's/).*//' | while read K V do V2=`fgrep "user_pref(\"$K\"" $CHK | sed -e 's/.*",[ ]*//' \ -e 's/[ ]*).*//'` [ x"$V" = x"$V2" ] && continue if [ x"$V2" = x"" ] then ${VERBOSE} && echo "$K not set" continue fi echo "$K: $V != $V2" done -- Address is valid for this mailing list only.
