| I found the problem.  It was indeed a misbehaing browser plugin.
| Specifically, I had unknowingly installed the wrong Flash plugin.  (Who
| knew there was more than one...).
In Synaptic, try selecting the line of the package, and read the
information at the bottom of the screen. It might be specified.
Have to reload first, of course.

| back to normal.  Thanks to you and others for responding.
The plugin! I had that once with a Thunderbird plugin I updated: from
outside the distribution. No more Tb two days in a row, till I thought
about it, then have to remove manually...(as installed as user, had to
rm as root, with command lines, inside the very folders...)
Best greetings, J.Markoll.
