Well, I take back what I took back, that is, Firefox brain damage.  I
just discovered that two other applications fail the same way.  The
other affected apps are wget and checklink.  The latter is a Perl link
checker from W3C that uses the LWP::RobotUA, LWP::UserAgent, and
Net::HTTP::Methods modules.  I can work around the wget problem, but a
checklink failure is a show-stopper.  We use that to check for broken
links in new and modified web pages.  Those two apps are run from the
file server on the LAN to the web sites on the DMZ (OPT1).  The
Firefox problem is on my workstation on the LAN.  Both of those are
Linux CentOS machines.  Interestingly enough, my wife's Win7 Firefox,
also on the LAN, does not have a problem.

I'm lobbing this back into pfsense's court.

Thanks for the hint, but it appears not to be (just) a Firefox
problem.

"Know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from
the dead, that this man stands before you healed. He is 'the stone you
builders rejected, which has become the capstone.' Salvation is found
in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men
by which we must be saved."  Acts 4:10-12 (NIV)
