Why does make Firefox makes those connections?

DNS-over-HTTPS Is The Wrong Partial Solution
(October 21, 2019)
DoH not only encrypts the DNS request, but it also serves it to a “normal” web server rather than a DNS server, making the DNS request traffic essentially indistinguishable from normal HTTPS. This is a double-edged sword. While it protects the DNS request itself, just as DNSCrypt or DoT do, it also makes it impossible for the folks in charge of security at large firms to monitor DNS spoofing and it moves the responsibility for a critical networking function from the operating system into an application. It also doesn’t do anything to hide the IP address of the website that you just looked up — you still go to visit it, after all.
And in comparison to DoT, DoH centralizes information about your browsing in a few companies: at the moment Cloudflare, who says they will throw your data away within 24 hours, and Google, who seems intent on retaining and monetizing every detail about everything you’ve ever thought about doing.
How to remove the new „Other Bookmarks“ button from Firefox

Firefox garbage?: Is it just me? or has firefox became total garbage over the last 6-9 months?

Mozilla enables DOH by default for all Firefox users in the US
(25.02.2020)
Circa 2015, engineers at Cloudflare and Mozilla joined forces to create DNS-over-HTTPS, as a way to hide DNS queries using encryption.
Disable WebRTC
WebRTC leaks your actual IP addresses from behind your VPN, by default.
WebRTC Leak Test
To disable RTCPeerConnection and protect IP addresses leakage, go to about:config and toggle media.peerconnection.enabled to false.
To disable Media Devices, toggle media.navigator.enabled as well as media.peerconnection.enabled both to false.
Turn off WebRtc and surf anonymously

This little practical test proves that a simple script on a web page is sufficient to find out the actual IP address of a user.

Mozilla: ISPs Are Lying About Encrypted DNS, Should Have Privacy Practices Investigated
The effort would effectively let Chrome and Mozilla users opt in to DNS encryption — making your browser data more secure from spying and monetization — assuming your DNS provider supports it. Needless to day, telecom giants that have made billions of dollars monetizing your every online behavior for decades now (and routinely lying about it) don‘t much like that.
As a result, Comcast, AT&T, and others have been trying to demonize the Google and Mozilla efforts any way they can,
New Release: Tor Browser 8.5a12
or Browser 8.5a12 is now available from the Tor Browser Alpha download page and also from our distribution directory.
Note: this is an alpha release, an experimental version for users who want to help us test new features. For everyone else, we recommend downloading the latest stable release instead.
This release fixes the issue which caused NoScript and all other Firefox extensions signed by Mozilla to be disabled.
If you used the workaround mentioned in our previous blog post, don‘t forget to set the xpinstall.signatures.required entry in about:config back to true after installing this update.
Plugin problem in #Firefox? type in „about:config“ search for „xpinstall.signatures.required“ set to false, restart and done.
Ok, seems #firefox is working as intended now… BUT *having to* enable studies (I never intended to enable) to get it fixed, the fact add-ons are resolved by a central certificate made it clear #Mozilla has a different view on „privacy first“ than me.
Firefox hat alle Add-ons deaktiviert
Mozilla hat sich für das Problem entschuldigt. Derzeit wird daran gearbeitet es zu beheben. Wann es soweit ist, ist noch nicht bekannt.
