Hello,
we try to customize our next ff45.0.2esr to make no outbound connections
over our proxy.
In the past we often saw proxy-login-windows when a background-service
of ff wanted to get into the internet. We then tried to disable the
service or as a workaround set the affected timers to max-value.
This time we only saw outbound connection by using Wireshark.
There is no proxy-login-window opened.
There are two connections made:
- shavar.services.mozilla.com
- incoming.telematry.mozilla.org
The shavar URL can be found in the two configs:
- browser.safebrowsing.provider.mozilla.updateURL
- browser.safebrowsing.provider.mozilla.gethashURL
The telemetry URL in:
- toolkit.telemetry.server
Shavar seems to be a service, which can be used by many other services
in ff, for example the planned TrackingProtection.
Compare https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Shavar and
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/TrackingProtection/Shavar_Server_-_Testing
I think it's clear to me what telemtry does. But why is he still
uploading? The option that seems to configure this is
toolkit.telemetry.enabled and is false by default.
At the moment the only chance I see is to clear all 3 URLs in the
options named above. Or maybee redirect to localhost or so on.
Or does anyone have a smarter solution? Maybee some simple switch to
turn this off?
Best regards
Sebastian Metzger
