I've have been to the "next to no support" with Ancestry.com and they don't seem to believe that ancestry connects to FaceBook, yet almost every time I click on any active feature inside the ancestry.com interface I see in my lower left corner of FF a small box telling me what FF is doing and it is indicating an attempt to connect to FB. I am having difficulties with saving data and posting data to ancestry.com and am thinking it's this attempt to connect to FB I have no FB account that uses any name associated with me and ancestry.com and I refuse to do so. FakeBook has no business knowing my real name and I refuse to give it to them willingly.

Is there a way to block this automatic "connect to FB". Ancestry.com seems to think it's not supposed to do this so how can I stop it?

nothing is being blocked. I seem to have a binary choice of all or none. this is so very not useful.

If I start ancestry.com in chrome I do not see "connecting to FakeBook" messages in the lower left corner. That doesn't mean it's not, I just haven't seen it do so yet.

This appears to be an issue with the Mozilla browser somehow. I don't like Chrome, I've been a Mozilla user since Netscape and before. I don't want to switch.
