Updated to the latest build of daily via updater
Actual results:
When the updater restarted the application, an error message popped up stating "Couldn't load XPCOM" and the application did not launch. Attempted to manually reinstall and got same error. Attempted copying files from the appropriate zip file and still got same error.

The application should have just launched and let me check my e-mail.

Note, I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Daily 33.0a1 from installer and still get same error, though I did not restart after uninstall. I will test that next.
Confirmed also on Windows 7 with the 32-bit nightly build. The error dialog immediately shows up on start. Also happens when trying to start in safe mode.

I think that's right for platform. I don't see a windows all choice

uhmm, at this precise point in time, those builds are still from *yesterday* and of course don't have the patch.

You're right. I thought the bug was resolved FIXED *today* at 5:30 (my bad) (and the download build was from 11:15). I'll wait until the next build appears...
