FF version 80 for the Mac OS, SHA256 d6efd1c0d99e9bb75d12000e2ee7f7aee52159e5fb060ea1f0018681c14ae61b makes a connections to 2 sites even though no browser tabs are open.

Using the command lsof-i|grep Firefox reveals the connections below

lsof -i|grep firefox firefox 2789 mac 44u IPv4 0x6fbad2a8710b0ceb 0t0 TCP 192.168.100.104:53755->104.16.249.249:https (ESTABLISHED) firefox 2789 mac 103u IPv4 0x6fbad2a8740d6a2b 0t0 TCP 192.168.100.104:53599->ec2-34-223-130-205.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:https (ESTABLISHED)
