[SOLVED] Disabling Firefox telemetry completely - incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org (sh.itjust.works)

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

collapsed inline media

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

collapsed inline media

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