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. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
