Oh my God.

  How ironic. The problem was the wiki suggested firefox prevents posting to
the arch formum... Specifically:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox/Tweaks#Referer_header_control

  network.http.referer.trimmingPolicy = 2   (breaks forum)

Restoring to '0' resolves the issue.

Thanks for the link Jason.
