Yes, that does indeed seem to fix the problem.  Thank you!

I have now seen http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=434 and this looks 
like another datapoint for that thread.  For me there is a conflict with 
xorg-x11-glamor, unlike for one of the people who posted to the thread. 
(I'm running the fvwm2 window manager, and, as I said in my first post, 
X didn't crash until I tried to start firefox.)  In common with others, 
my log showed that the glamoregl module was getting loaded under 
fglrx-x11-drv (until I uninstalled glamor), but not with the proprietary 
amd/ati driver.
