Firefox connects to google when no web pages are open
With no web pages open, and one tab open with no page loaded, firefox opens 10 or 15 established connections on ports 80 and 443 to ip addresses that all resolve back to google. What the heck is going on, and why does google need to know that I'm not looking at any web pages?
Please note that this is with NoScript in full effect (no js permitted at ALL) and not viewing ANY web pages.

It is probably the Google-powered phishing and malware site protection.
You can disable this in Tools -> Options -> Security - uncheck Block reported attack sites and Block reported web forgeries.
If that doesn't do the trick, see other possibilities on the linked page.
