Comment (by cypherpunks):
The network traffic you see is most likely a favicon request. Firefox
likes to redownload them constantly and all kinds of UI interactions can
trigger this. The socks isolation username I have seen for those requests
is "--NoFirstPartyHost-chrome-browser.xul--".
No cookies or referrers are sent with those requests, so for popular
domains there is likely no issue. For unique domains, it may allow some
tracking of your online status.
