Fixed my own issue.  The problem with FF was a symptom of a system
problemw ith audio.  When I ran strace on FF, it looked like it was
timing out waiting for a socket it had opened to talk to pulse audio.  I
had pulse issues on my ubuntu machine.

Anyways, I found another suggestion about disabling esound in
pulseaudio.  That enabled pulseaudio to start, and then all the FF
issues disappeared.

In my case, I got things working by commenting out these lines in 
/etc/pulse/default.pa:
## .ifexists module-esound-protocol-unix.so
## load-module module-esound-protocol-unix
## .endif
load-module module-native-protocol-unix

My suggestion to the FF team would be to "remember" that opening the
audio subsystem failed and not try to do it again.  That would make the
first right-click or audio-linked action fail, but not subsequent
attempts.
