[RESOLVED] NoScript queries local IP twice?

[ChrisCB]

Good afternoon.

I develop websites which I locally access either via http://localhost or my internet IP address (92.nnn.nnn.nnn). This morning I set some code on the front page of the website to send an e-mail out and to my surprise I saw that the e-mail was being sent three times.

I investigated a little and according to my antivirus there was Firefox accessing my localhost via the IP address, http://92.nnn.nnn.nnn twice in 2 seconds at regular intervals.

I closed Firefox and re-opened it and noticed that as soon as Firefox starts, my website was being accessed.

I then disabled NoScript, re-started Firefox twice and my website was not accessed.

I re-enabled NoScript, re-start Firefox and there it goes again, my website at http://92.nnn.nnn.nnn accessed and e-mail sent.

Anyone can shed some light on this please?

Thank you.

I just saw the thread under mine, apologies for not reading that one.

However,to add some detail, mine queried my external IP multiple times even when I didn't close Firefox.

Your IP may be be queried once or twice on startup (first takes fingerprint, second checks fingerprint sometimes depending on startup timing), then once very 5 minutes (15 minutes in 2.0.1rc2 and above) to detect changes.
