I did run emulator command directly:

Concatenated QEMU options:
 /home/ikezoe/.mozbuild/android-sdk-linux/tools/emulator64-arm -show-kernel -android-port 5554 -android-hw /home/ikezoe/.mozbuild/android-device/avd/mozemulator-4.3.avd/hardware-qemu.ini
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
zsh: abort (core dumped)  ANDROID_AVD_HOME=$HOME/.mozbuild/android-device/avd  -avd mozemulator-4.3    

It looks like the emulator needs xcb plugin for Qt.

The command in comment 1 was wrong.

% ANDROID_AVD_HOME=$HOME/.mozbuild/android-device/avd /home/ikezoe/.mozbuild/android-sdk-linux/tools/emulator -avd mozemulator-4.3 -port 5554 -show-kernel -debug init,console,gles,memcheck,adbserver,adbclient,adb,avd_config,socket

The failure reason was that arm system image in SDK was not installed.  I guess updating SDK process failed due to network errors or some sort of.
