How to stop Firefox statup calling secure2.informaction.com?

Post by asloane »

Firefox 17 connects to secure2.informaction.com at startup even though plugin updates have been disabled. There is no other internet traffic when starting Firefox except one connection to my ISP (investigating that one). The other plugins do not seek connections.

Why is NoScript and FlashGot using port 443 without clear cause and without permission? What encrypted data are they sending?

that connection is for NoScript detecting your WAN IP, you can uncheck it in (Options -> ABE -> WAN IP)
but I don't know what is FlashGot connecting for... :?:

Excellent replies. Thank you, that covers all the bases - as does NoScript (pretty much).
