Firefox visiting a page without tab or window open
Hi folks,
I run a server which is ONLY accessible from my own IP address. I have a particular script on that server which deletes certain log and temporary data files at the end of a job run. I have a problem where those files being deleted WITHOUT me visiting the page !!
Somehow Firefox appears to be randomly visiting that page all on it's own, without a window or tab open which is then deleting the files at the wrong times without me doing anything.
I have put some tracking in the script and the http request is DEFINITELY coming from my IP.
The user agent is being reported as: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0
The page address is not being recorded in my browsing history.
How is this happening ? I only have 2 extensions installed: Tab Reloader and UBlock Origin.
Is there a way to track ALL activity that Firefox is doing so I can trace where this is coming from please ?
I'll point out that to my knowledge, this is ONLY happening on this specific page on my own server and not anywhere else that I am aware of. All my other scripts on that server have tracking as well, but none of them have been randomly run.
I need to track this down as right this moment I have the original script renamed and I'm having to use £%~£%&{ chrome to run it as I cannot trust FF NOT to run it !!!!
Any help would be appreciated.
