1 year ago I think these are it downloading the tracking protection/safe browsing filter lists (and maybe the favicons for Wikipedia?) so that it doesn't end up querying them with URLs every time you browse to a site.
See for example what Mozilla says "Shavar" is.
I don't think there's a good way to get rid of these connections unless we turn off the features that the filter lists are being fetched for by default, or else add a startup dialog somehow to determine if the user wants them and only fetch the lists once the setting is set.
It would be nice if we didn't start making connections immediately on startup, but if we didn't fetch these we wouldn't have them to use.
Maybe there's some way to delay the fetching of stuff until the first actual navigation, so the user has time to turn off the settings, if they don't want to reveal to Mozilla or Google that they have a browser running?
Steps to reproduce
Fresh install IceRaven Open it do nothinh
Expected behaviour
It should not connect to servers unless the user of liceraven wanna interrect with server.
Actual behaviour
