If they were calling dbus-launch, that means that they were unable to contact a Desktop Bus broker and tried to run their own broker in the same session as themselves. Run system-control status dbus and system-control --user status dbus to check that the system-wide and your per-user Desktop Bus brokers are running and to see their logs. Also look at /run/dbus/ and whether you have a DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS variable pointing at a different place. I cannot speak to Firefox but a quick check with SpaceFM reveals that, once it can contact a Desktop Bus broker, it tries to contact and auto-start the org.freedesktop.UDisks2 server over the system-wide Desktop Bus. So you'll need a system-wide org.freedesktop.UDisks2 service that runs that server. I've added such a service bundle for 1.36.
