Elements Endpoint protection Connection Control activates by itself automatically in Mozilla Firefox

Issue:

When opening the browser, Elements Endpoint Protection Connection Control activates by itself automatically in Mozilla Firefox without the user entering a banking page. When Connection Control is active, many websites are blocked unnecessarily. 

Resolution:

If Connection Control (Banking Protection) automatically activates itself when you open Mozilla Firefox, it can be because among the most visited pages in a "new tab" view there is a banking website listed. Firefox preloads these pages and it can trigger the protection. 

Try to remove all banking related pages from the view when you open a new tab and then restart the browser to confirm if the issue still persists.
