I have all Firefox Data Collection and Use options disabled.

Anyone know what all of these services are doing? I assume they're for auto updates, account sync, and maybe pushing Pocket ads and/or sponsored pins?

Likely, I'll block most, but curious if anyone knew.

You can see the requests for Pocket, certificates and the captive portal check since those are in the actual url name. In addition to those, FF phones home for browser updates, extension updates, FF sync, safe browsing, etc.
