I shutdown, removed the hard drive and booted from the ubuntu CD:
everything works as expected-
I assume it is safe to say that what ever the problem is, it's to do 
with
something wrong on my hard drive- presumable some configuration 
somewhere,
not a hardware issue.

Interestingly enough, ping6 does NOT work.
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ ping github.com

Before doing the above, I checked firefox vs chromium again
and the exact same urls complete with he protocol part at the beginning
were resolved by the latter, not by the former.

How does one clear cache?
