FYI, FWIW, in case anybody cares, here's the "solution", or at least
the cause:

I tried removing firefox plugins one at a time (simply move them from the
plugins dir to another dir then restart firefox) until it started working
again. The one that did the trick was the plugin for VLC. Once I moved
it away from the plugins dir, radio stations from mediayou.net once again
started working.
