I'm in Nightly daily, so I know Dev should be working.

Works for me.  see screenshots

What OS? What Desktop? Looks like you're running it from the cmd line. I run all downloaded versions from my download folder. What's the path to firefox or firefox-bin? Try running it from a different account.

I renamed the same file in your error and could generate the same error. see screenshot Assume bootdrive is not mounted.

Not same error. Good to know X11 still supported. I also have desktop v140. It works OK.

Of course the error message is not going to be the exact same... but the end result is Couldn't load XPCOM
