Hm, that's odd. Cisco's client does use Firefox's NSS library and even
the Firefox NSS *database* (stupidly) for its SSL key storage, but
OpenConnect does not. OpenConnect uses OpenSSL instead.

I cannot imagine any direct interaction between Firefox and OpenConnect
which would do this.

Do you have Firefox sync enabled? Does something weird happen when it
tries to sync through your company network instead of directly through
the Internet to the Mozilla servers?

Can you reproduce this if you run in 'split tunnel' mode so that only
packets for your company network are routed to the VPN?

My next step in debugging would be to monitor Firefox's configuration
storage to see *exactly* when the change happens, and capture the
network traffic around that time to see what's going on.
