Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0

Steps to reproduce:

I updated my Firefox Developer Edition that I hadn't used in about 3 months.
Following the update, the browser failed to open. I then tried to run it from the command line. It returned with the error below. I am using CentOS 7 (Linux 64 bit edition) . Prior to this update, the browser worked just fine. I've even tried to download a fresh copy from your website.... Same error. I believe this to be a bug. It appears to be calling on a non-existing library or the incorrect version of the library.

Actual results:

$ ./firefox

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/{HIDDEN}/Applications/Firefox-Dev/libxul.so:
/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by /home/{HIDDEN}/Applications/Firefox-Dev/libxul.so)
Couldn't load XPCOM.

Expected results:

Browser should've opened up be usable as before these recent updates (last three months or so)

I think it is now fixed
