I've noticed that some settings have been changed after updating from v149 beta to v149.0.2 like the warning before opening about:config, network.captive-portal-service.enabled or Safe Browsing.
Very annoying.

I've just noticed that R3dfox keeps on connecting to detectportal.firefox.com every time I open a new window even though network.captive-portal-service.enabled is set to false.
This never ever happened with previous versions, not even with v149 beta

Update:
Even worse, I have removed the http://detectportal.firefox.com/canonical.html URL from captivedetect.canonicalURL setting and it still connects to detectportal.firefox.com !
WTH is going on ?

Thanks! Waiting for an ESR release. Will there be updated ESR releases?

Not true. I've *ALWAYS* had this connection! **ALWAYS**
Yes, only on FIRST RUN on a NEW PROFILE. But this connection has *ALWAYS* been there.
