OpenSnitch showing kioslave5 trying to connect without the user's consent
kioslave5 connects to location.services.mozilla.com without asking the user for
permission. If I deny the connection, the latitude and longitude read 0, and if
I allow it, the latitude and longitude match my location.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run System Settings
2. Navigate to Display and Monitor
3. It starts connecting right away, but to confirm that it actually manages to
connect, click on Night Color and check the latitude and longitude readings.
OBSERVED RESULT
kioslave5 connects to mozilla without the user's consent
EXPECTED RESULT
kioslave5 should not connect without explicitly asking the user for permission
