Thanks for your debugging ideas. I have a somewhat more advanced way to
do that:

alias newfirefox='firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote'

I create new browser profiles regularly for testing things / clearing
settings. I suspect the issue more likely lies in some other aspect of
my system, although I haven't pinpointed what. My personal loathing of
Python is my current stumbling block in trying to add more debugging
output to that script.

(How anyone who grew up using vi's % could like a language with no
matched pairs is beyond me.)
