Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I checked, and none of them show up in that list. I assume they're not
 being opened by Firefox itself so it didn't log them, but were instead
 opened at a lower level inside some code that Firefox calls. Would Firefox
 be aware of what happens inside the ICE code or the addon? The persistent
 TCP connection to the Snowflake agent is listed though.
