Uh, using x2goclient with "lan/no image compression" isn't the same as 
running ssh -X and forwarding the display. While your results surely are 
interesting and increase the suspicion that Firefox is the real culprit 
here, there's still a faint chance that x2go is doing something it 
shouldn't do. So just to be sure, run ssh -X, execute Firefox from the 
shell (again, this will most likely be noticeably slower than through 
X2Go), and see what happens.
