I have a local HTML file with a list of links. When I open this page in Firefox
I see many log messages like this:
2026-06-07T09:46:58+10:00 named[1225250]: timed out resolving
'www.google.com/HTTPS/IN': 8.8.8.8#53
These seem to show up for any link that I pass the mouse over, even briefly.
Firefox is running in safe-mode (as a test) so no add-ons are involved.
My private named config nominates 8.8.8.8 as the forwarder.
I want to stop Firefox from doing this. Just do nothing when the mouse moves
across my page.
How do I stop Firefox making these requests? Not just stopping the timeout.
Go to "about:config" and set "network.http.speculative-parallel-limit" to 0.
See if that stops the lookups.
It is already set so. I think that I went through the "Firefox Hardening Guide"
list at
https://brainfucksec.github.io/firefox-hardening-guide
and consulted
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections
I will see if this continues.
