Alias is not going to like this information. He is very protective of his
Open Sores software.

Bullshit.

Ok, let's see, the page on mozilla.com that explains the reasons
firefox may be connecting to the internet **all by itself**

1. It's connecting to 127.0.0.1, This is normal expected behavior.
2. It's updating live bookmarks. Delete them if this bothers you.
3. It's checking for updates. BFD
4. It's loading your home page. BFD
5. It's updating the anti phishing list. So turn it off if you're shy.
6. It's prefetching links with prefetch tags. BFD
7. It's updating live title bookmarks. BFD
8. It's updating it's list of blocked extentions. That's sort of
like an anti virus for the browser, but you can...turn it off it
it bothers you.
9. An extention YOU loaded is connecting.
10. YOU have a virus or malware connection.

The information your FUD spreading author worries about: ip
address, time you were using the software, and so on, is not SENT by
firefox. It's simply possible to infer it from the IP connection data
itself. By that "logic" CNN is spyware.

Conclusion? Carey Frisch == Chicken Little. Cluck, cluck.

Not a fanatic of any kind. The following link is provided for reference and
since you're a self-claimed "Vista enthusiast", I doubt you would bother to
read
Firefox makes unrequested connections:

Vista calls home to see if your hardware has changed. If so, you need to
let Vista call home again to activate or you have to pick up the phone
and call MS to activate. Neither Firefox nor Thunderbird call home for
these nefarious purposes.

I was recently lied to by MS again when I was offered WGA as "critical"
update when all it is is SPYWARE, just like Vista and XP are.

So, Carey, you shot yourself in your copied and pasted foot again but,
trust me, no one is surprised.

I have written no software, nor do I hold a patent for any. So, you are,
once again, lying as no "Open Sores" software is mine to protect.

Got any more lies you care to share? How about a few sexual fantasies
about sheep that you and Frank are so fond of?
