FYI, I did some initial testing with a network traffic analyzer, and
found that the preliminary IceCat 78 was attempting to establish an
HTTPS connection to 'icecat.settings.services.mozilla.com' immediately
upon startup, and asynchronously continuing to make attempts. Mozilla
has no DNS record for that host name, but my ISP returned a bogus DNS
record for it anyway.
I believe this issue is now resolved by commit
1435cb8dca37307979ed9cb17b8c33e589580128 "Disable settings services".
