Hi, Since some time, after downloading the by me wanted URL, Firefox seems to try to load URLs like dm.com.com (and other weird ones), and doesn't succeed in that effort. I never asked for that URL, but why is this happening? Does ZA block this URL, or does Firefox enforce some DON'T DO THIS action, so that it only keeps trying to load the URL, but doesn't complete it? TIA

dm.com.com isn't weird, it's a quite typical advert server.
You did. Adverts are included in many webpages.
Dunno. ZA is a tool to randomly f*ck up network connections, so such a thing might happen as well.
Well, what about the extension AdBlock?
these are tracking cookies and very typical. disable REFER and all third party cookies will greatly reduce, but not eliminate this activity.
Tracking cookies don't exist. Please inform yourself about how the Path and Domain attributes of cookies work.
Why? Not just that it's generally stupid, it's not related to the problem at all.
Those are normally disabled by default. Yes, there are some fools who misuse MSIE as a webbrowser, where it's disabled by default except if the third parties lies around with its P3P policy, but who cares?
Eh... what about filtering it in first place? Or removing this stupid ZA thing so it doesn't complain loudly about obvious and harmless things?
