Make sure to allow pop-ups in your firefox configuration (at least for
the SHARP server). Also: make sure the files in your
sharpfiles/datafiles directory are readable by the user/account that
is running the httpd.

Also: maybe the file $BDG_home/sushi/logs/error_log has some
additional info?

The autoSHARP CCP4i interface tries to start a browser as configured:
have a look (from the main CCP4 window) in

  System Administration
    --> Configure Interface
        --> External Programs
            --> Hypertext Viewer

Maybe you need to put the full path to firefox in there?

That's a bit funny ... it should create that file/job, even if it
can't fire up the browser ...

I would recommend running autoSHARP through the httpd-based interface
(instead of the CCP4i one): you get more features with it (looking at
maps, analysing LLG maps, fine-tuning density modification, difference
Fourier maps, adding more datasets etc etc).

Cheers
