Agreed. Next time anyone mentions anything about "but this is not free" I
won't answer, so that I don't get accused of "tactics". Then you can tell the
other person to stay on topic. :)

background connections, or if you had to additionally configure it yourself?
To keep the reply as short as possible:

> Either way, it sounds like this Firefox derivative is the easiest you've
found for which to disable automatic connections. While I am unwilling to use
Palemoon for my computing because it is proprietary (though I respect your
right to decide differently) I will download it to compare its about:config
to that of Firefox after following the broken documentation page. Focusing on
the differences will narrow down the number of value changes to try in order
to disable all automatic connections.
I am not going to use Palemoon. It seems somewhat crippled. Additionally I
don't like the reply I received by their developers when I reported the
privacy issues for Basilisk.
I prefer to strengthen IceCat and Tor. My strengthened user.js should be able
to give the zero packet privacy in all FF forks. But still I am willing to
improve it further if possible. Perhaps you can test it with Palemoon.
