Hello I'm a newbie; a while ago I was browsing thenation.com and then I noticed on the Firestarter status tab that I was connected to three hosts 91.189.92.191/176/181 on ports 44441 and 51501 (unknown services). Previously I only see http or https on 80, 88, and 443 when browsing. Is this something that i should worry about?

I use Firefox with Anonymox on Oneiric.

No, this is normal. Port 80 and 443 are the ports on the server you are connecting to. For HTTP to work, and to receive the response back, a random high numbered port is opened by the browser for the server to connect to and send data back through.
