Do you have lots of tabs open? Any add-ons/extensions? Do you go through its settings and check what all the preferences are? I go through the settings, and turn off things that cause traffic without my say-so. There were Firefox data collection options preselected, for instance. There may be pre-fetching (following links on a page that you haven't yet clicked, expecting that you might), but that's hidden in the about:config. The various "warn you about deceptive things" often work by sending data about every link you follow to some external database before loading the site (rather than it checking with one stored on your computer). Just this last week I had to debug a Mac that kept locking up hard, you had just a few seconds each boot to try something to see what was going wrong. After a few hours of my time being wasted by it, not helped by everything being hidden where you can't see it, touch it, nor remove it , I finally managed to find the fault and eradicate it: Google Chrome installs a hidden Google software updater, and it had wedged hard. I still can't believe how crap Macs are at multitasking. One thing takes control and won't let go, it doesn't even have to be something CPU intensive. Next to impossible to browse another disk drive during a file copying process. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.66.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 16:02:34 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
