Big netflow traffic caused by Firefox while afk

Hi Guys,

Whenever I leave my computer for a while Firefox starts to consume big network transfer. It looks like this - I interrupt my work, leave my PC as it is, everything is fine, but as soon as screen of my laptop turns off (because of inactivity) it takes ~5 minutes and I see Firefox downloaded ~400 MB of data (please see screenshot attached). It's not one-time scenario, it occurs every time. Not sure if it's always 400 MB, but for sure more than 200 MB (I know it because of my VPN notification). Do you have any idea what data are being downloaded?

Thank you for any support.
