I disabled any data collection using the GUI some days ago:

However Firefox still regularly tries to connect to this address incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org, which is apparently blocked by my network.

Now my question - why does FF try to connect, what is it and how do I stop it?

It is true I am stopping it. But I would like to understand the reasons why FF is making this connection despite disabled telemetry.
