I understand but Firefox does not render all pages correctly as it seems to misinterpret css. And, it is always to have more than one browser installed as I have just discovered.

I found a work-around: launching chromium-browser from a terminal window with the argument --no-proxy-server. This launches the sites I listed in my post without any problems. It thus seems the proxy settings somehow have been messed up, perhaps one time when I unceremoniously killed the app from the command line...

I now need to find out how to reset the proxy settings in chromium since I am unable to access it from the settings menu in the browser.
