If the hard disk name contains an invisible directionality character, which is
included on many systems that use Hebrew, Mozilla will crash when launched.
Removing these characters solves the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Rename the hard disk to something that contains the unicode chars
0x202c/202d/202e, which can be done with the Unicode Hex Input keyboard.
2.Try to launch Mozilla.
