Why is FF trying to access "activate.adobe.com"?
FF with DRM tries to access "activate.adobe.com. FF without DRM tries to access "Amazonaws.com". Blocking these IPs causes more attempts with IP address buried within sub-domains. Each block of a sub-domain results in change in sub-domain ip addresses. In both cases all addons are disabled. Everything typed into FF is sent to Adobe or Amazon IPs. This is also independent of search engine used - Goggle, Yahoo, or Dog Pile. Is it possible for an installed plug-in to cause this behavior even though it is disabled?

You have an outdated and insecure version of Flash installed: Please update your plugins to the latest version. Check to make sure you are up to date:

If it still happens consider a malware scan: Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.
