Comment:

 I'm unable to reproduce this on Debian (unstable) or Ubuntu (Maverick) --
 I see an open TCP connection with firefox-bin, which eventually goes away
 entirely, although firefox-bin continues to listen on a random port
 (netstat -nlp, and see also
 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Connections_established_on_startup_(Firefox) for
 why it's expected behavior)

 Do the open UDP ports persist after five or ten minutes? Does any
 behavior, besides closing TBB, shut them down?
