New FF install with FF offline installer. 42.6MB. Never browsed to any sites. No extensions. No plugins. 2 default plugins are disabled. firefox.exe blocked by Agnitum Oupost Firewall. firefox.exe never touched the internet. No rules created yet. FF Settings All search engines are removed apart from DuckDuckGo.

I installed FF for privacy and I don't know what firefox.exe is trying to send to Google.

Thank you.

Thanks Jefferson,

I had a look at about:config and I think that I have my answer.

Seems that Google is at the center of all things.

Through gritted teeth I say this topic is closed.
