I waited a while, then restarting Firefox froze it, and other apps froze when I started them, too, so I decided to restart, which ended up being a hard restart, as various frozen apps refused to quit.
Upon restart, the external drive wouldn't mount, although it was crackling. Disk Utility suggested verifying it and then trying to mount it again, but "Verify Disk" didn't detect any problems, and it still wouldn't mount.
Unplugging the Firefox cable stopped the crackling, and plugging it back in started it up again but also mounted the drive, whereupon "Enable Journaling" worked in seconds, as you described.
So I'm not sure what happened, but it seems to be resolved.
