This completely solved my problem. I was starting to lose hope and think I would need to format my harddrive and reinstall everything with TimeCapsule, and fearing the malware would be back. I couldn't find any really suspicious add-ons in Firefox (I deleted Shockwave Flash Player with no benefit). But then I reset Firefox:

and have had no problems since, two days later. This does not seem to be an exception to the rule that Mac OS doesn't get viruses, but other software may be targeted.
Good luck to the rest of you, and thank you Linc Davis.
