Very likely the nspluginviewer has opened those HTTP connections.

Perhaps they are restarted by session management.
Kill them save that session and re-login.
If they keep coming back, the problems is somewhere else.

Perhaps nspluginviewer tries to load a malfunctioning plugin and is then not 
able to quit correctly, thus staying around.
It might be a specific website that causes this.

I think it is a KDE tool program used to embed Netscape plugins into 
Konqueror.
