Hello,

Our team has noticed some inside to outside connections to the torproject.org network on a base install of Firefox 70. I cannot find any documentation on why this might be occurring other than the fact the the tor project and Mozilla have a fairly strong collaboration effort. Does anyone have information on what exactly is making these connections, I want to make sure it's all legitimate of course.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
