My home page is blank. My search engine is duckduck go.

I only have adblock and noscript.

I want firefox to not access google - ever. Right now it shows that it connects and maintains a connection permanently.

I find it infuritating actually.

Yes, Google Safe Browsing is probably the cause. Anyone curious can read more about it here, but that traffic at browser startup is probably going to Google's Safe Browsing API servers.
