I'v read your 3 posts, I'll try to answer them in 1 msg:

It is becoming clearly now that one of the extensions was phoning home.
Most likely it was the wizz rss-extension. I have done a portscan at the
IP-address that this - let's say - piece of malicous software was
attempting to connect to and no ports were open...there was simply
nothing there. You can be sure... you don't have to eat your hat, I have
reinstalled mozilla without any extensions and nothing happened in any
of the previous discussed instances... I am glad to say that mozilla
itself is safe but let it be known that this rss-reader is a no-go. To
be able to read the rss-feeds I have made a small webpage on my server
with javascript so I can read my rss-feeds again... Leaves me with the
thought that everything is quiet on the western front and I am no longer
a tool for malicious entities who make thier money by bombarding people
with unsolicited mail and other things that we so deeply hate.

Thank you all for thinking with me (or against...) Now e have another
aplication to put on the blacklist: the wizz rss-reader

Peter
