Look your browser use is the most close to look into your brain. Your interests , tastes…
You can't use a VPN and think you are safe if your browser is connecting to home and telling them where you are in hopes of privacy. Precisely the fingerprinting and privacy protections are the things which made more conections. And firefox uses Google servers ( just whois the conections to mozilla and check by yourself )
Actually firefox do this all the time. You can check it easy using "about:networking" on it. At least they are honest with that feature. (on android use firefox beta for access things like about:config)
I tried librewolf and is the same story; ungoogled-chrome discarded because take weeks to release new bin after the last security patch so I stick with firefox-esr for get security updates. I got obsesed about make firefox blind so I dig into about:config, to the conclusion there is always a unique conection left, but I'm working on it and blocking it with firewall by the moment. I will release the user.js later if there is some interest here.

I use librewolf as my daily driver browser (on win10 ltsc) so im very curious about your findings. I suspect that these connections are related to the "safe browsing" feature which sends the address of the site a person is trying to visit to google for 'safety purposes'.
Please share more information and the ways in which i can verify said information.

I'm also considering using Librewolf and am curious as to what faults you found

I usually use Brave for torrent searching. I use Waterfox for some things and I am starting to look at SR Ware Iron.

OP here. Long solution ( And I'm using that) . Firefox can't be blocked from calling home using user.js only. There is always one connection left. I had to block mozilla.org (and .net, firefox.com, getpocket.com… ) on my hosts , then enable secure DNS and forcing that domains to use my local dns resolver.
Short solution for the rest of people: Use MULLVAD BROWSER, which is a the unique not calling home as is, you can uninstall the mullvad addon and change the secure dns elsewhere, and you have it. No more calling home while browsing. A warning about it: it not store passwords and webgl not works as should ( like TOR BROWSER which is based in ) .
