I've had this problem off and on also, but it's always been resolved by 'systemctl restart firewalld.service' but I don't know why.

And while system-config-firewall indicates it's not enabled/running/connected (whatever), it actually appears to be hung up trying to connect to firewalld; if you do 'systemctl status firewalld.service' it clearly is running.
