Thanks a lot.  It seems that I do not need all the preamble material
that you suggest.  If I just use \mathbb from amssymb instead of
\mathbbm from bbm (as you suggest), it works out of the box, at least
on firefox.  Maybe that preamble material would make it more browser
independent; I don't know; I have just neglected them so far.

Thanks to Michal as well, even though his solution did not solve
any problems when I tried it.
