Hi list.

Just when I wanted to debug a web problem, I saw tcpdump
showing Firefox making silent requests to Google. (wtf at this
point!)
To reproduce: Open a random webpage (preferably one that does not
reference external content, e.g. http://jengelh.hopto.org/ ; local
files don't trigger it)

Maybe you could have a look at this site:
http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/safebrowsing/
The link it requested there is the Web Forgery Protection.

Ah thanks for the info.

(And I don't run Google Toolbar, it phones home even more often and
for modem users, I have seen it congesting their line.)
