I've noticed some net activity every time that I start Firefox and have limited it down to NoScript - when I disable NoScript it doesn't happen.
If I clear my dns cache (pdnsd) before starting Firefox, then dump the cache immediately after startup, I see the following activity:

Why is this happening? What info is being sent? How can I stop this?
Why does NoScript do net access on every Firefox startup?
