Have you checked the presence of the /tmp/dbus-dyUjnhLBwE socket?

What?! I don't think that this is an acceptable opinion. :-)

Both browsers you mentioned are part of KDE or Gnome.
THOSE heavily rely on DBUS, that's right, and due to
the transition of dependencies, _their_ web browsers
also do.

For example, I'm not running DBUS here, but I run modern
web browsers. I just don't run _those_ two. :-)

So did you properly build your KDE and Gnome components
with DBUS enabled, and all of their configurable dependencies
also with DBUS enabled? It _may_ be that the use of DBUS
is not among the default building options for one of the
nested dependencies, and that one might be _the one_ that
now shoots your foot. :-)

Your ps listing indicates that you are running DBUS, so
that shouldn't be the problem. Missing DBUS support in one
of the required components _could_ be.
