Firefox kept using bandwidth even though no other tabs are loading, or even with only a blank tabs
The experience of slow browsing occur this couple of days,
it uses full bandwidth even though i close all tab and just one blank tab (and have to restart the browser to get the bandwidth start to normal).
The browsing experience start normally but after i started watching a couple of videos on Youtube, it start lagging like hell even though i close the Youtube videos (and it slows all website browsing experience),
i found out via firewall log and check who.is on the accessed IP are Google owned.
I already tried install re-install, able and disabled plugins, disable add-ons etc. now i just my usual add-on for web development & gaming (which i've installed along time ago and didn't cause problems)
also tried about:config and set the value to false on ipc, the problem still occur
I search google and no solution found, i hope it can be solve here. (to compare it, browsing using chrome does not have this kind of problems)
Update:
- Now it does not only download from google IP, also from AOL & my Internet Service Provider IP
- I've scan my PC with COMODO antivirus & Malwares bytes before and after, the problem still occur
- here's the IP that still accessing 172.194.49.43, 111.94.248.80, 74.125.96.181, 74.125.96.144, 74.125..96.241, 74.125.96.136
- The source that access the IP uses different port, at first it uses 80, now it use port 58279 to 58283, like 192.168.1.104:58279

Firefox may be updating the phishing protection database.
@cor-el i'm pretty sure that is not an update progress for phishing protection, the ip are too random and it's owned by a well known company, like Google & AOL, i'm really sure that it's not the place where FF looks to update their DB. and the amount of data is sometimes humongous, i once tested to let the process of using bandwidth uninterrupted for 2hours and it trafficked around 2-3gigs of data from Google's IP. and to make sure i've tested again when the symptom appear and let it for a half an hour and it trafficked around 200mb.
@Waka_Flocka_Flame Yup, this solve the problem very fast, test and trial every extension
UPDATE: Yup it's a conflict of extension i never guess, after testing one by one and look on its forum, it's between Flashgot & NoScript and both from the same developer.... :) disable the ABE setting on NoScripts right now it the Internet is working! :) this never happens before from years using this plugins, thanks for the awesome response & help guys!
