Comment (by arma):

 Hm!

 A couple of random google searches for 'cubeb slackware' point me to
 https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/firefox-in-current-
 alsa-sound-4175622116/
 and
 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1209964
 which suggests a possible sandboxing problem.

 That second url has the intriguing statement "pulseaudio is running.
 Removing '--disallow-module-loading' solves my problem. This security
 measure is in Slackware's rc.pulseaudio. I'll tell them about it."
