# Getting Rid of Unnecessary Browser Traffic
1. Do you see unnecessary traffic in your site map? Are they originating from Firefox browser itself? We need to get rid of these noise.
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
2. To disable capturing of unnecessary browser traffic, analyze the traffic in the "Site map" and identify URL patterns that need to be excluded. In the current scenario, we observe that most of the noise is originating from following two domains:
* `firefox.com`
* `mozilla.com`
3. In your Firefox browser, click on "FoxyProxy" icon and select "**Options**"
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
4. Choose the recently created proxy (named as, "localhost-8080") and click on "**Patterns**" button.
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
5. In the "Add/Edit Patterns for localhost-8080" window, click on "**New Black**" button, and edit the "Name" and "Pattern" fields as shown below:
* **1st Black Pattern**:
* Name: `firefox.com`
* Pattern: `*.firefox.com`
* **2nd Black Pattern**:
* Name: `mozilla.com`
* Pattern: `*.mozilla.com`
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
6. Delete the other (default) patterns listed under "Black Patterns". The final screen should look similar to:
7. Click on "Save" button and select the option "**Use Enabled Proxies By Patterns and Priority**".
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
8. Also, disable following browser configurations by accessing `about:config` in the address bar of your Firefox browser.
* `browser.urlbar.autoFill.typed`
* `network.captive-portal-service.enabled`
