is Firefox meant to connect to li164-174.members.linode.com:https ? As far as I can ascertain Linod is a file storage provider and as the name suggests is mainly concerned with Linux. I am running Xp Sp3, Firefox 3.6.3, Zone Alarm, SpyBot, and Artificial Dynamics Safe Space. Nothing else on this computer should be connecting to the internet. Hope you can help, Regards Simon

li164-174.members.linode.com is a server used in the Google Sharing add-on. As long as the addon is not using it maliciously, there's nothing to worry about.
