Telemetry is switched off, so why does Firefox continue to connect to incoming.telemetry.mozilla?

I have a number of PCs running Windows 7 and AVG Cloud Care, that I have recently installed Firefox on. By default, only a few sites are allowed, and although all options in Firefox under Data Choices are unchecked, AVG Content Filtering is still throwing up messages that Firefox is attempting to connect to incoming.telemetry.mozilla (and other such things, like health reports). Any idea why?

Hello FiremanDave, did you also try to set to false the next preference datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled in about:config ?

thank you
