Build no.: All I've seen! There should be a simple option to turn off What's Related searchs. This functionality can be achieved by placing a * in the 'Do not request box' but not all users would figure that out. Additionally if What's Related is turned off it should remove the associated panel from My Siderbar.

This used to be in prefs but it was removed (per another bug), since there's no reason to have such a preference. If you don't want What's Related info, just hide the What's Related tab... wontfix

*** Bug 44456 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Reopening bug. This is a privacy matter as well as convenience. If you take the action suggested by Blake (making another sidebar tab current), mozilla still sends the URLs visited to www-rl.netscape.com.

tor, my suggestion wasn't just to change the active sidebar panel, but rather to completely remove it from the sidebar. Is that still the same situation?

If you remove the what's related sidebar panel by selecting the menu option "add->what's related" (non-intuitive naming), then mozilla does not contact www-rl.

so can we close this up as wontfix again? (btw: you're right, that's very non-intuitive - I think I'll file a bug on it)

Closing this bug again. CC me on the naming bug, could you? Thanks.
