Subject: http "post" function broken in ALL Gecko (Mozilla) based browsers on ONE profile on Mac
Here's a weird one, and I know it's not the browser at fault, because
they all work fine on one profile on this mac, but for me, not!

This has me stumped - I have Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2, and was happily
running Firefox 2.0.0.12 Suddenly, I was getting error 611 trying to
send a gmail. So I tried to post to the gmail forums - it said an
error has occured. So, I tried to login to Myspace, it said "length
required". Then I tried to post an item on ebay - it said there was an
error. Safari worked fine on all those sites, but there's no way I
wanted to switch to THAT wreck of a browser! So, I cleared cache,
cookies, disabled toolbars, ran CLAMxAV - everything I could think of.
I also downloaded Firefox 3. Still the same. To prove the point to
myself, I downloaded Opera, and all the sites worked fine. But then, I
downloaded Camino, and it was exactly the same errors as I was getting
with Firefox. What the...?!? It seems like any Gecko based web browser
cannot do anything that involves a certain type of POST function - and
yet, it gets weirder. I can log IN to gmail and ebay, but not post
anything. But I cannot login to Myspace it says "length required" and
the mozillazine forums is as if the name and password boxes were
empty. What can I do?! I've also totally deleted the whole Firefox
profile, checked disc permissions etc
I've also posted this in the mozillazine forums, but no response yet.
