When looking into "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\xul.dll " of my Firefox installation there is a string " west-1.eb.amazonaws.com" (= Service in Amazon AWS). However I can't find it in Firefox sources.

Does anybody know why it is there?

Firefox version is 66.0.5. Xul.dll file version is 66.0.5.7066

Thanks.

hi, the domain is in the source-code (part of the public suffix list): https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/dns/effective_tld_names.dat#10714 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Public_Suffix_List
