A program cannot "Automatically Sets Its Self To Access Internet". If it could, it would be a huge security hole.

Usually it simply tries to access, and then your firewall asks you if you want to allow it. That means your firewall pops up a message box where you must click "ok" to allow it (ZoneAlarm, Norton etc.). Or if you have a dumb firewall, then it just blocks without asking, and you must set the permissions manually inside the firewall program.
Second, "Notepad" cannot be configured in any way to access the firewall. It cannot connect to Net and send/receive data by itself. But it can access filemanagers which then can access a shared network drive etc. That means Notepad can only load and save its text to file system like any other program in a simple way. It's the filemanager that will access the firewall/network then and process the received data (like zipped directories, samba-shared directories, TurtoiseCVS-directories etc.)

Third point, about Firefox etc.
Your firewall is preconfigured for these programs, that means because it already knows them it's not asking and just granting access on the known ports (http-port 80 for example). But that was programmed in by the manufacturers of the firewall, and can be overridden by firewall-configuration.
(My firewall ZoneAlarm always asks after I have installed a new version of Firefox!)
