It would only be a software firewall on the local machine that could be doing that; anything on any other machine can't. If you have no particular reason to do otherwise, I would recommend removing all firewalling from localhost - you won't lose much security (two programs running on your computer are allowed to communicate freely in plenty of other ways anyway), and it'll make all sorts of things easier/simpler.
