Not necessarily BSD-related though this was discovered via a proxy
server jail's process table.

Source of the requests was a recently installed Firefox add-on.  Not
sure how to escape the pattern for search engines but nothing is found
>From queries wrapped in double quotes.   The absense of previous log
entries or search results raises a number of questions.  Is this
IPv6-related?  Neither the client nor the proxy have IPv6 enabled.  Is
it potentially malicious?  If so by what mechanism?

The Intel IME backdoor vector is a primary suspect for obvious reasons
but am curious if anyone else has seen this?
