Hello!
IDLE does use network connections to talk to itself --- namely, whenever
we execute a program in IDLE, it creates a new program process and runs
our program in that new process. The IDLE environment talks to that new
process through a network socket, so all the communication is in-house,
but you might still see something from ZoneAlarm warning about that
communication.
There's a note about this here:
http://www.python.org/2.4/bugs.html
It's not really a bug; but it is something unexpected for folks who are
using ZoneAlarm.

What happens if you try running both of them together? Do either of them
fail to start up?
Firefox and IDLE should not conflict; if you can tell us more details,
we'll try to figure out what's going wrong.
Best of wishes to you!
