Because friends reported no problems with Firefox on their Mac, I made the assumption that the villain must be a plug-in/extension.

That is when I got really disgusted despite the fact that I had a lot of bookmarks set up in Firefox, and switched to Chrome, importing a mess of bookmarks and having to sort out the important ones.
