Firefox has been my browser of choice for years, but like THIS user (thread below), I was just about to hang it up and go with Chrome when I read that plugins might be causing the problem. I never imagined that those plugins would ALSO include the ones that are installed by DEFAULT.
I opened the "manage plugins" screen and clicked "never activate" the following two plugins that are installed by DEFAULT in Firefox:
OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco and Wildvine Content Decryption Module provided by Google.
That fixed the problem. (Does anybody think this is a "nefarious plot" by the big G? :) )
For other plugins/solutions, see this thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1217498
Hope this helps someone avoid "crazy-making town." :) I lived there for weeks.
