[vidalia-users] Do OSX apps phoning home compromise the anonymity of my firefox/TorButton session?

[r k]

Please forgive the fact that I'm probably butchering
the nomenclature here, but I noticed via Little Snitch that a bunch of apps
(dotmacsyncclient, filesyncagent, pubsubagent) are constantly phoning home
while I'm running Tor/Vidalia/Firefox/TorButton and it's safe to assume that
my real identity is revealed in those communications. My question is, do
those share a connection with my Firefox session? Obviously that would be no
good and I'm hoping to hear that I'd need to specifically point an
application to Tor in order for it to share a port and/or connection with
the browser I want to stay anonymous on, but all these "Allow TCP
connections to port 80 (http)" in Little Snitches Rules list give me
concern. Thanks in advance.
