Bitdefender reported that a Suspicious connection was blocked

firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to pixel.zibaba.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since web pages must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk.

ZIBABA LTD. is A SOCIAL MARKETING PLATFORM/APPLICATION (the “Service”) THAT HELPS THIRD-PARTY MARKETERS (individually and collectively “Marketers”) PUBLISH THEIR SERVICE/PROMOTIONS/CATALOGS/COUPONS (individually and collectively “Service”) ONLINE.

Is this a legitimate connection please?

Its possible you have an extension or something that is trying to connect to that website. I'd suggest downloading malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.com) and running a scan to remove anything on your computer. Then, refresh Firefox. Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
