It turns out the problem was caused by the "PDF Download" add-on I had
installed. I disabled it and all is well again. I contacted the author
who informed me that it works on *.nix  and the problem probably lies
with FreeBSD; however, he will look into it. In other words, it isn't
gong to be fixed anytime soon, if at all.  There is just no urgency is
wasting the time to fix a problem for a small niche of users and an
even smaller niche who are employing their add-on combined with an
infinitesimal number of users actually trying to access a site similar
to the one shown above.
