In case you have problems to reproduce it, you can use Kerio 2.1.5 Firewall which easily tracks all outgoing connections.
This bug has been discovered thanks to Kerio firewall !

Confirmed with TB version 2 alpha 1 (20060708).

=> trying to connect to virtual-addons.mozilla.org / IP: 140.211.166.199

with all updates options off.

Reporter, does this issue still occur in the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life, and the latest supported 2.0.0.x is 2.0.0.16)
