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) 14:23:03.581788 IP 10.10.106.161.50386 > 134.76.10.66.3128: P 1:691(690) ack 1 win 5840 E....a@.@... j..L B...8"..%.g..P.......GET http://sb.google.com/safebrowsing/update?client=navclient-auto-ffox2.0.0.2pre&mozver=1.8.1.2pre-2006102300&version=goog-white-domain:1:19,goog-white-url:1:371,goog-black-url:1:8400,goog-black-enchash:1:17514 HTTP/1.1 Host: sb.google.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20061023 SUSE/2.0.0.1-0.1 Firefox/2.0.0.2pre Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: UTF-8,* Keep-Alive: 300 Proxy-Connection: keep-alive Cookie: PREF=ID=b81b7fa78ae17cf1:TM=1168225067:LM=1168225067:S=xIIiZGyQbydqdfSG Can I _please_ get information why there's spyware like this in Firefox? Added by SUSE? (I don't have the Google Toolbar installed, which, in itself, already transmits data unwanted, leading to congestion on modem lines.)
