When I opened the thread this morning (hours ago), my system was quiet.  When, several minutes ago, I did the netstat -atuevp whose output I attached to my reply to you and Tim, yes, Thunderbird and Firefox were running.

Shall I reboot and re-do the netstat before launching Thunderbird and Firefox?

I will dig into the user-guide you referenced.  This will take time.

Oh, with the output of netstat, if a process has made a connection but then disconnects the
state may not be "established" but changed to "TIME_WAIT".  If I recall, it will remain in
TIME_WAIT for around 60 seconds before the connection is torn down.

So, best to check netstat just after you see activity has occurred.
