Firefox downloads something on start once after its each cleaning.
I cleaned Firefox, then it downloaded something (about 3 megabytes). I think, it is strange situation. I have captured some traffic with USBPcap, but can't attach any file.

Hello, this is completely normal.
This could be a number of things:
Google SafeBrowsing filter update -- Allows you to browse the web safely.
Tracking Protection filter update (private browsing) -- Blocks trackers and certain parts of web pages used to track you.
An add-on updating automatically.

I think something is wrong with the CRL.
What are you using to do that "cleaning"?
CCleaner is notorious around here for causing a myriad of problems for Firefox users. Standard advice is to go into the CCleaner settings and deselect Firefox for cleaning. Firefox has everything built-in for "cleaning up" browser sessions, without cleaning "too much" and causing problems afterwards.
