This problem started after upgrading to 3.6.8. It first looked as if Firefox is looking to update some plug-ins, despite setting it not to look for updates. I have the same plug-ins for a long time (MS drm, ad-block +, Java and script . I wonder if locking the prefs would help, or make it read only. Thank you for any help - I am a firebox addict.
