Hi!

Is there a way to block automatic connections from installed addons?

You could see in about:networking they connect to their webpages (eff, amazon cloud and so on) as far as you open the browser.

I think the involved entries are:
extensions.update.enabled = true
extensions.autoupdate.enabled = true

However, if we change them from true to false we have to visit the addons webpages in order to update them manually.

Greetings.

Hi, what are you saying is weird because FF connects to his website to check and download the addons, not to the creator's webpage; more specifically it connect to addons.mozilla.org in order to retrieve your addons updates.

You can check in the link used to download them as proof of this:

"extensions.update.url", "https://versioncheck-bg.addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=%REQ_VERSION%&id=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&maxAppVersion=%ITEM_MAXAPPVERSION%&status=%ITEM_STATUS%&appID=%APP_ID%&appVersion=%APP_VERSION%&appOS=%APP_OS%&appABI=%APP_ABI%&locale=%LOCALE%&currentAppVersion=%CURRENT_APP_VERSION%&updateType=%UPDATE_TYPE%&compatMode=%COMPATIBILITY_MODE%"

"extensions.update.background.url", "https://versioncheck-bg.addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=%REQ_VERSION%&id=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&maxAppVersion=%ITEM_MAXAPPVERSION%&status=%ITEM_STATUS%&appID=%APP_ID%&appVersion=%APP_VERSION%&appOS=%APP_OS%&appABI=%APP_ABI%&locale=%LOCALE%&currentAppVersion=%CURRENT_APP_VERSION%&updateType=%UPDATE_TYPE%&compatMode=%COMPATIBILITY_MODE%"

Yes, but as I said not the webpage itself.. but:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android

Interesting.

However, in about:networking I could see eff.org (HTTPS everywhere) and s3.amazonaws.com when I open it.
So there is another reason, maybe in the addon itself...
I have to see that.

Thanks!
