Comment(by cypherpunks):

 I have noticed those connections to Google and Yahoo servers again.

 They cause cache entries to get set.
 The Yahoo cache entries want to be stored for a period of two months.

 This has been watched while using a current version of TBB.

 So, it seems to be a good solution to remove the urls from
 "browser.contentHandlers.*".
