My home page is blank. My search engine is duckduck go.
I only have adblock and noscript.
I want firefox to not access google - ever. Right now it shows that it connects and maintains a connection permanently.
I find it infuritating actually.

DNS over HTTPS could be using the Google DNS services.
Hmm, I don’t think so in this case. Although I will check tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!
For years, just in case I’ve missed disabling some FF telemetry … Every night I disable networking. Mornings I start FF up first, and (once my -local- home page is fully loaded) only then do I enable networking.
I’m not sure about in Firefox directly but if you use a local dns or similar you could have Google resolve to nothing
True
You lost zero info for how you think it’s connecting…?
Ok I have some news -
It’s not safebrowsing - or probably not - maybe I just can’t turn it off now or something.
So I
- “refreshed” firefox to get to original state
- disabled all of safebrowsing via settings and then via about:config -> “safebr*.enabled”
- disabled all telemetry that got turned on via refresh
- turned off fucking AI
Nothing worked.
Eventually got logs running with: “export MOZ_LOG=timestamp,rotate:200,nsHttp:5,cache2:5,nsSocketTransport:100,nsHostResolver:100”
found out mozilla is doing fucking push notifications?? wtf. that resolves to google? turned that off.
Anyway, it does a bunch of shit. All talking to google in the end.
I hate Firefox. I’m so over all of this.
When I start the browser, and it is blank, and I have done nothing, it should do nothing. If it needs some base certificate updates, it should do this once a week. Or never. Let me decide.
Talking to google, even doing dns lookups every fucking time I open a browser. God. Who are these people. /rant
