Mozilla and other unnecessary connections on start
@SuperRobinHood tested the latest build (LibreWolf-74.0-2.x86_64.AppImage) and found that it connects to Mozilla (and other alien domains) on starting up.
Here are some logs from their testing:
there's also the detectportal requests
maybe its intentional, I dunno
btw, I'm using the appimage if that matters
and now it requested this http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/openh264-linux64-2e1774ab6dc6c43debb0b5b628bdf122a391d521.zip for some reason
LibreWolf-74.0-2.x86_64.AppImagethats my version
also, Librewolf makes a new profile every time I run it
GET
https://accounts.firefox.com/metrics-flow?utm_source=activity-stream&utm_campaign=firstrun-release&utm_medium=referral&entrypoint=activity-stream-firstrun&form_type=email&utm_term=trailhead-cards-supercharge
HTTP/1.1some of those might come from the new tab page, since I DID visit it
however, I did not go to any site
I see. I assume the js and images must've been from the newtab
so Librewolf also downloads the lists for tracking protection
for example
GET
https://tracking-protection.cdn.mozilla.net/ads-track-digest256/1582072557or
GET
https://tracking-protection.cdn.mozilla.net/base-cryptomining-track-digest256/1559142673and many many others
