There are probably other calls to various update systems, check urls for app.update.url, media.gmp-manager.url, extensions.systemAddon.update.url, all those in about:config.. or check for all values containing 'https://' in there. Iirc snippets on the new tab page, 'safebrowsing' (which calls google) and normandy/shield are disabled by all-openbsd.js, but there might be more, http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries is a good (up to date?) resource about those. Or check the interwebs for what tor browser (or other paranoid derivates) disables ? Landry
