Which works in iceweasel. :-(I am forced to use Konq due to iceweasel attracting so many hits from the web that my monthly limit would be exhausted in 2 weeks. Oddly, konquerer does not get ANY hits at all.I'm not sure to have understood correctly that stanza.Sorry. I knew exactly what I meant but did not convey it properly. When I connect to the net and do not have iceweasel running, I can get mail or using Konqueror, I watch the output of if iftop and see normal network connections from the dns server, ntp, and the site/sites I am connected to. Maybe 6 addresses at a time. When I open iceweasel and connect to my 127.0.0.1/dwww page, Not the Net, I get screen after screen full of ip addresses connecting to me on many different ports and eating up my download allotment. The downloads to me stop on quiting iceweasel. That being the case, I have concluded the running iceweasel is NOT in my best interest,I use Iceweasel and never noticed this behavior. Maybe you should play with extensions like NoScript to have better control on what code your browser executes.
Are you sure? Bring up an xterm and run iftop -nNB -i <your wlan interface> and then bring up iceweasel but don't connect to the net. If you don't see connections from Google/Mozilla and others I will be very surprised. I recall a long thread 3-4 years ago where it was discussed how to stop all of those probes. I was on dialup at that time and my slow downloads would take hours to get here due to all the probes from the net. There was no solution then IIRC. Maybe there is none.
I caught this problem when I installed conky which I set up to monitor downloads on my wireless interfaces. I could not figure out what thetraffic was when I was not doing anything on the net while the wireless was on. I am now on my 4th firewall and this one, arno-iptables-firewall, is default to deny and I am still getting hits but a lot less them before.
I have had NoScript for years now.
You don't happen to run p2p software during/before this test, that would generate a lot of hits.
No p2p software. I even removed all multicast software thinking that might have been causing it.
