Everytime it is started with the network available & online.
Anyone here know why.
Btw, I tried it with both the installer & zip versions for win.
They both do it.

I would agree, but it shouldn't be checking if updating is off,
we're probably agreed.

I shoulda mention both times I tried it, I went completely
through the options in about:config & the options dialog
disabling anything that looked like a call out for any reason.
So no to software updates by my default.

Also, I searched all of its directories for the text string
(axolotl) within the files, and didn't find it.

It only goes to the BBC if I Allow the first callout to succed.

Did it. No luck finding the entire string there. Did find
"axolotl" in the "en-US.dic" file. Not too revealing.
Found "bbc.co.uk" in "bug22142.html" again this doesn't seem too
revealing. Guess it is not there in plain text.
 
I''m unfamilliar with that. I'll try & look into it.
Interesting, here is a link for info about it:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/live-bookmarks.html

Don't know what to think about this. I don't find any default
urls that end in rdf, or xml, and as I kinda mentioned, I don't
find the text strings for the urls in FFs directories.

I don't know how exactly that is, but default fx has 1 Live Bookmark
bookmarked in clean install. Let's say, there is 'Latest Headlines' on
the toolbar. You can right-click it to verify it's a live bookmark.
I'm confused it phone at first...but I think it's no need to worry too
much...for me...coz I need to trust sometimes...

Ah ha, a clue.
First thing I do is go minimalist, so this toolbar was off
without ever having looked at it. Turn it back on. See what you
mean. Still don't see those rdf/aml endings. No matter. Delete
the bookmaeks & back-up from the default profile & she starts up
real quiet now, thanks!
