greetings,

for some time, i have been noticing network traffic when i open firefox.

my 'round to it' finally installed wireshark and i have found that i
have data transfers with to sites.

#1 - 72.167.239.239 = godaddy.com
#2 - 82.103.148.40  = easyspeedy.com

i have no firefox add-ons related to above and have never loaded anything
that should be causing these connections.

i tried putting name in '/etc/hosts' file to send them to '127.0.0.1',
but this did not work, so i am presuming that what ever is causing
connections is doing so by address and not by name lookup.

anyone know of above two and what i can do to eliminate them?

any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.


tia.
