I agree that this is an actual bug. Unfortunately it seems that Mozilla will not acknowledge this. > So Mozilla can talk nonsense to infinity - this is > not a documentation bug. True, but there is a separate documentation bug (a documentation page contains a procedure that does not work) which they have acknowledged. Maybe their just deflecting to it because they would rather fix the documentation than acknowledge the software bug, but at least they've acknowledged there is *a* problem. Fixing the documentation would not make Firefox a privacy-respecting browser, but it would not be useless either. Your recent comments in the Mozilla threads are correct, and it is frustrating to be correct and ignored, but I think that letting the software bug go temporarily and pushing them on the documentation bug may get the better results. > 1) show Mozilla that it is not just a single user who sees their > mischief. I figured out how to run tcpdump last night. I see a bunch of connections to the University WiFi I'm using, which get mixed in with the connections that begin when I open a browser. Once I find a way to suppress these so that the output of interest is readable I'll corroborate your statements in the Mozilla bug reports.
