There is a known DNS leak in WebSockets. Does it happen if you set
'network.websocket.enabled' to false in about:config?

Another possibility is WebRTC, which can leak more than just DNS.
http://net.ipcalf.com/ will use WebRTC mechanisms to probe your IP for
testing purposes.

I believe you can disable WebRTC by setting media.peerconnection.enabled
to false, but there may be other prefs involved too.
