Colin,

Not sure if you meant doing that on Ubuntu or Firefox, but I used a test 
profile on Firefox and the problem went away.  Turns out I had been 
experimenting with some GreaseMonkey scripts over the last couple of 
months.  Turning off GreaseMonkey fixed it so one of them is the cause.

Thanks for the idea.
