Firefox constantly connects to old sites - Little snitch
I have the latest Firefox, and use Little snitch always. Constantly, i get popups from LS, asking for FF to connect to sites that i have used previously. Many, and no apparent pattern. Please. How can i shut off this 'function' of FF pre-connecting, or whatever it is? Anyone else getting this?

- - This one refers to malware. I went through that and none seem to be the problem.
Web Push notifications in Firefox -

- - This was brilliant, did not know of this. But none of the attempted connections were there, very few sites were in any case.

- - Certainly a useful list. But not applicable for me here. It's not protections of any kind, nothing to do with Mozilla, list or addon updates, etc; home page set to blank;
not prefetching etc.
I am puzzled.

btw - deleting all history cookies etc does not solve this. And it's mostly sites i have recently looked at. But have closed.
