What I want from Firefox is a mode, even hidden behind about:config, even by a combination of settings, that results in 0 network traffic upon start and all traffic is associated with my UI interactions.
Even with telemetry off, all kinds of information about my browsing behavior from the myriad connections it makes upon start and exit can be gleaned. Certificate chain updates, etc can be delayed until a secure connection is requested by me.
The amount of unsolicited and virtually uncontrollable network traffic from macOS, Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, etc is bad enough, I expect more from Mozilla that never stops marketing its privacy features.
I believe I have the right to control when and for what purpose the computer and software that I own communicates with third parties.
