Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firestarter

The GUI for Firestarter has a bug where it persists in showing a closed
connection as if it were still active. This could present the problem of
people thinking that they are being hacked when they are (probably) not,
as in this example:

Here's another person who seems to have experienced this bug:

In my case, it is showing an active connection to a web server that I
have verified with "netstat -pantu" is not actually connected, and it
persists in showing this connection even if I restart the GUI, restart
the networking or even if I restart the firestarter service. The only
thing that seems to fix it is rebooting.
