Whenever I open up firefox, firefox.exe attempts to connect to my own public IP on port 80. I confirmed this by issuing a 'netstat -b' on my computer. I was originally notified this was happening when every time I opened up firefox, my firewall would say "Deny IP due to Land Attack from <my_public_ip> to <my_public_ip>. This happens every time. All virus/malware scanners come up clean. Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks. It turns out it was caused by the add-on 'noscript'.

From the developers comments:
