------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
Firefox connects to pre-defined URL for testing if it is behind a captive
portal. Tor Browser disables that (#21790).
Can any of Firefox's background connections be used as a way of probing
the local network (or ISP) for network interference? If we use them, how
can we blend in with Firefox?
