I spoke too soon.

The problem is back again.

As a friend of mine used to say "Problems that go away by themselves
come back by themselves".

I am still desperately seeking assistance to fix this problem.  I have
done everything I can to follow the Handbook instructions to the letter
and Firefox is still choking up on the vast majority of web sites.
(Apparently, almost every site on the Interwebs these days has a s**t
load of embedded flash crap on it, you know, to make it look fancy
schmancy.  I think this is absurdly stupid, but what do I know?)
