When I open a new tab, for a couple of miliseconds before going to my homepage, i can see various sites i recently visited in a table-list like a recent visits table. Am i being tracked by something? Did I catch a trojan ? I am also running no-script add-on on my Mozilla for extra protection. It's not disturbing my browsing experience but I do not wish to be tracked in that way. For example, when I tried loading it today, I could see photos of friends I saw on facebook, and info about an e-bay purchase i wanted to make.
