I tried that as root after seeing Tim's suggestion. I saw nothing useful in the
output, so I did not post it. My apologies for that. I've re-ran it now as root.
The output is attached.
I thought you said your system was "quiet"?
For your "network activity" issue the lines of interest are those which include
"ESTABLISHED" as the state.
It shows both "thunderbird" and "firefox" are both running and
connected to hosts. So, one would
expect some network activity.
I've installed wireshark. The man page is thousands of lines long. Is there a good
beginner-level tutorial for that?!
