Hi All, I've migrated to 10.2 which includes Firefox 2 by default. netstat showed Firefox contacting mozilla.org and google.com at each launch and seeming to stay connected for awhile. (i.e. not obviously transient) I drilled down into 'Edit -> Preferences...' to see if I could disable this activity because I prefer to check for updates manually. The checkbox for 'Firefox' was already empty but 'Installed Add-ons' and 'Search Engines' were each checked. I unchecked them, closed Firefox and relaunched it. The results from 'netstat -nutap': tcp 0 0 192.168.1.47:23278 63.245.209.21:80 ESTABLISHED 30940/firefox-bin tcp 0 0 192.168.1.47:23279 63.245.209.21:80 ESTABLISHED 30940/firefox-bin When I returned to the relevant menu, the 'Firefox' updates setting was *missing*... leaving only the unchecked (by me) 'Installed Add-ons' and 'Search Engines'. Has anybody already dealt with this issue? I really prefer checking for updates to Firefox myself, not at every launch (it isn't always convenient.) Does anyone know what the 'Search Engine' updates search is all about?
