'browser.launcherProcess.enabled' - true I get this:
Launcher Process Disabled due to failure
'browser.launcherProcess.enabled' - false
Launcher Process Disabled forcibly
Is this normal?

It is normal in the sense that such a result is plausible, though something must have gone wrong to indicate a failure. Ideally we want most users to have enabled launcher processes.

The first step would be for you to let me know what the values are under this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Launcher

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Launcher]
"C:\Program Files\Nightly\firefox.exe|Image"=dword:5c3f18a8
"C:\Program Files\Nightly\firefox.exe|Browser"=hex(b):00,00,00,00,00,00,00,
00

That state is indicative of 'browser.launcherProcess.enabled' = false
Please set the pref back to true, restart your browser, and then provide the values again.

I changed it to true and now about:support says Launcher Process Enabled.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Launcher]
"C:\Program Files\Nightly\firefox.exe|Image"=dword:5c3f18a8
"C:\Program Files\Nightly\firefox.exe|Launcher"=hex(b):7d,fc,c6,2b,0b,00,00,
00
"C:\Program Files\Nightly\firefox.exe|Browser"=hex(b):a4,b7,c7,2b,0b,00,00,

Okay, great. If you ever see "Disabled due to failure" again, please ping me with the values of that registry key and I can give you more information.

I set the pref to false, restarted Fx and it said Disabled forcibly. I then set the pref to true, restarted Fx and once again it's enabled. Does this tell you anything about my problem?

Aaron.
I've discovered that if I change my CPU speed in my BIOS and then boot up Windows and start Fx I get the about:support message that the Launcher Process failed. Why would changing the clock speed of my CPU cause this?
