I disabled any data collection using the GUI some days ago:

However Firefox still regularly tries to connect to this address incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org, which is apparently blocked by my network.

Now my question - why does FF try to connect, what is it and how do I stop it?

It seems to have worked!

Firefox made these 5 connections:

telemetry-incoming.r53-2.services.mozilla.com
push.services.mozilla.com
firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com
content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net
firefox-settings-attachments.cdn.mozilla.net

...and then it shut up.
