FF is trying to launch some program (the helper app) to handle the streaming
audio (actually a link that describes the stream). This failed for some
reason. I can't divine why as I'm not FF. Could be their site's broken.
Could be the app thinks it's already running and it's only allowed to run
once. Could be FF is using the wrong calling protocol for it. Maybe
there's some relevant info in /var/log/syslog or you can post the URL of the
page that has the streaming audio link and someone here can figure out more.
