Why does Firefox not respect the HOSTS file in Windows
Why does Firefox not respect the HOSTS file in Windows?
http://i.cubeupload.com/P0jKaY.jpg In my hosts file are entries to block sites that show up as connections that Firefox makes, even when Firefox is in SAFE MODE. How can that be possible? 1. I add an entry to the Windows hosts file and SAVE it. 2. I start Firefox in SAFE mode. 3. Firefox _still_ shows up as "ESTABLISHED" to that rogue site. How can that possibly be that Firefox doesn't respect the hosts file? Where do these rogue connections come from anyway? http://i.cubeupload.com/T274r0.jpg ------------------ Here are just the first six of amazonaws -------- 127.0.0.1 ec2-52-25-189-162.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com # firefox safemode 127.0.0.1 ec2-52-26-2-199.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com # firefox safemode 127.0.0.1 ec2-54-148-80-75.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com # firefox safemode 127.0.0.1 ec2-54-213-112-246.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com # firefox safemode 127.0.0.1 ec2-54-213-123-171.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com # firefox safemode 127.0.0.1 ec2-54-69-9-44.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com # firefox safemode ------------------ Here are just the first six of cloudfront -------- 127.0.0.1 server-52-84-24-10.sea32.r.cloudfront.net # firefox safemode 127.0.0.1 server-52-84-24-129.sea32.r.cloudfront.net # firefox safemode 127.0.0.1 server-52-84-24-141.sea32.r.cloudfront.net # firefox safemode 127.0.0.1 server-52-84-24-205.sea32.r.cloudfront.net # firefox safemode 127.0.0.1 server-52-84-24-28.sea32.r.cloudfront.net # firefox safemode 127.0.0.1 server-52-84-24-7.sea32.r.cloudfront.net # firefox safemode ------------------ |
