If I then restart the firewall all those old rules re-appear even though there is nothing in the Firestarter configuration to generate them.
I am thinking that something somewhere has run iptables-save on your box and stashed a ruleset somewhere (one would like to hope in /etc) and then whatever method you use to start the firewall calls iptables-restore.
It turned out to be old nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf. Firestarter must automatically add rules for those entries and now that I've removed the old nameserver entries the old iptables rules have gone.
