Hi all, I'm curious as to how much data Firefox pulls down behind-the-scenes for new browser profiles during the first hour or so of browsing... with such things as safe browsing data, extensions it wants to install on first use (Widevine, OpenH264, etc)? Is it worth trying to minimize this for thousands of lab/classrooms browser configurations on a college campus... especially for sites with small internet pipes?
In our school labs and classrooms students/faculty/staff have a fresh new browser profile upon every login. So that got me thinking about the background download of safe browsing data. I'm curious if it's a good idea in this particular environment (if possible) to turn off the background download of safe browsing data but still leave it enabled to allow it to query URLs site-by-site as browsing is happening over their average 45 minute temporary logon sessions? Does anyone run their own internal safe browsing/phishing proxy/caching server? Wondering if anybody does this rather than allowing all their clients to download safe browsing databases all the time? I came across https://github.com/google/safebrowsing. Not sure if this is really a caching server, but wondered if Mozilla has their own proxy/caching server? thanks for your input. -- Scott Copus, Lab Systems Engineer Academic Technology | Western Kentucky University http://www.wku.edu/it/labs
