Have you installed the latest version of the Plasma Integration Firefox Addon?  
I can see this Addon was last updated more than a year ago and Firefox may 
have changed since then.

The package 'kde-plasma/plasma-browser-integration' is usually installed by 
'kde-plasma/plasma-meta' with USE="browser-integration" enabled.  It seems 
Firefox, or more likely the Addon is not finding this file.

Do you have the Arch installation to check the path(s) where the file 
org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json is installed?  This is what I have on 
a Gentoo plasma installation here:

~ $ locate org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/etc/opt/edge/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/
org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/usr/lib64/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/
org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json

Perhaps you can check what file the Firefox Addon is trying to access, by 
running 'about:debugging' and connecting locally to it:

Perhaps someone who uses this Addon and is familiar with it will be able to 
offer help.
