Hi, while I agree with you that we are left without a choice in cases such
as firefox, I disagree that this is a firefox problem. The problem is
definitely in timidity as it hooks I guess directly to alsa and blocks any
other application.
There were suggestions made to use jack and when working with music
(timidity) you probably will have other benefits by using jack.

As of your remark - you stopped timidity - did you disable autostart before
rebooting. Chances are high you didn't and it autostarted blocking your
device again. In /etc/default/timidity

# uncomment to override enabling triggered by availability of
timidity-deamon
TIM_ALSASEQ=false
