Definitely a bug in Polipo (which doesn't mean it's not a bug in Firefox
too).

CLOSE_WAIT means that one endpoint did a graceful close on a connection
but then other end didn't.  Since Polipo is supposed to forcibly close
all idle connections after a timeout, a CLOSE_WAIT connection should not
remain forever.

As Fabian mentioned, it's difficult to know more without a packet dump.
