.net is added to a URL--why?
On a specific vBulletin site (net-benefits.net), searches for new posts or the newest post in a thread generate an error because FF (33.1 now, but it's been going on for several versions) adds ".net/" to the URL every time. What should be "http://net-benefits.net/search.php?searchid=xxxxx" ends up as "http://net-benefits.net/.net/search.php?searchid=xxxxx" Manually removing the extraneous .net/ gets a successful search. The error does not happen on Chrome.

Probably nothing to do with it, but do you have "browser.fixup.alternate.enabled" set to true in about:config? If so, try setting it to false.
I tried changing that setting, and it worked the first time I tried it, but not since. Any other suggestions?
Does that setting keep getting changed? Does that problem happen when you are in Firefox safe mode? It might be an extension doing that.
