Got it; it had to be something not everyone was using (else everyone would be screaming), so I went back though my standard set of stuff (several font sets, other stuff, wasn't java/js/css). On the wiktionary (and for some things on the 'pedia), Ruby support is useful, so I have the extension. But it also has the serious mis-feature of trying to "improve" on abbr tags, and a serious bug when there are lots of them. Fix is to disable the Ruby extension, or edit "about:config" and change "rubysupport.expand.list" to remove "abbr". Should be noted somewhere (and reported as a bug on the extension, but I have no idea where to do that).
