Hi All,

I've migrated to 10.2 which includes Firefox 2 by default.

netstat showed Firefox contacting mozilla.org and google.com at each launch 
and seeming to stay connected for awhile. (i.e. not obviously transient)

I drilled down into 'Edit -> Preferences...' to see if I could disable this 
activity because I prefer to check for updates manually.

The checkbox for 'Firefox' was already empty but 'Installed Add-ons' 
and 'Search Engines' were each checked. I unchecked them, closed Firefox and 
relaunched it. The results from 'netstat -nutap':

tcp        0      0 192.168.1.47:23278      63.245.209.21:80        
ESTABLISHED 30940/firefox-bin
tcp        0      0 192.168.1.47:23279      63.245.209.21:80        
ESTABLISHED 30940/firefox-bin

When I returned to the relevant menu, the 'Firefox' updates setting was 
*missing*... leaving only the unchecked (by me) 'Installed Add-ons' 
and 'Search Engines'.

Has anybody already dealt with this issue? I really prefer checking for 
updates to Firefox myself, not at every launch (it isn't always convenient.)
Does anyone know what the 'Search Engine' updates search is all about?

TIA & regards,

Carl
