kill all apps which use your OSS audio device /dev/dsp. I guess some 
soundserver is blocking it and firefox simply waits for the device to 
be freed.

If this helps then ensure to have a recent ALSA version which does 
softwaremixing by default and ask the firefox developers to switch from 
OSS to ALSA.


Best regards
