Firefox 76.0.1 outgoing packets

[udg]

Hi all,
after updating to FF 76.0.1 my firewall shows a few unexpected outgoing TCP packets at program startup.
FF is setup to show about:blank page on startup; only extra component is NoScript; Windows10 version 1909 (build 18363.778)
About the remote addresses: they're from Amazon and Google (e.g 99.86.163.6, 34.98.75.36, 216.58.206.46).

But, why FF feels the urge to contact (on port 443) those servers before I type in a single char or click anywhere on its space? What have they to discuss behind my shoulders (yes, I know that it sounds paranoic, but even writing it in a different style the question remains) well before I take any action not only in FF but in general ?

I stupidly tend to think about my PC as mine. They keep warning me that I'm simply the user (well I was the one who paid the bill and the owner from the shop to home, then I turned it on and suddenly became a user, doesn't matter if superuser/admin or regular user..).

Anyway, did you notice similar behaviour on your installations? Do you know why the call those servers?

maybe they are polling to see if those search engines you can use are available? (default is google, and there's ebay, bing etc aswell but amazon not)

I will check . Anyway there is a lot of traffic behind the scene. Try to deny port 443 looking at failed attempts for a couple of minutes. And FF is just one among many.

Don't worry, all you do on Internet is checked by your Internet provider anyway ?

I reckon its Tintin Benito Trump ?because TCP stands for Trump Conservative Plague he "got to" Google and now has them spreading his contagion
???

Just disable the plugins (CCleaner shows them quite nice). It's Amazon, Google and at least 5 others.
