Thanks a lot! On the forum, someone said he couldn't reproduce it. And
then I tried to reproduce it on a different machien (laptop computer)
and I also could not reproduce it. So it remains unclear to me when
this issue happens and when not.

But many thanks for letting us know that I'm not the only person who
has observed this problem!

Did you restart it using "su" without switching to the text console?

Can you try just switching to the text console with CTRL+ALT+F1 and
then back to X and see if that unblocks Firefox too? I.e. without
restarting pcscd, but just switching to text console and back.
