The problem is solved. Thanks; something you suggested pointed out the
problem. Running it from the terminal worked just fine. Running it from
the panel icon did not. So... logically, the problem resides in something
that the panel icon does differently than the terminal command.

KDE wants to start everything within soundwrapper. It's a stupid user
interface thing to make pretty noises when you open or close a window.
Totally unnecessary. Removing that from the panel icon's properties fixed
it. Obviously the conflict was there.

Anybody care to add this to either KDE's or Firefox's bugzilla, feel free.
I don't have a bugzilla account. Probably not worth it to submit it to
KDE; Mandr* 10.1 download version comes with 3.2, no longer the latest
stable version.
