[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-5, no longer working on Mozilla)]

The normal way to run mozilla is with the "mozilla" script (and viewer with the
mozilla-viewer script), which calls run-mozilla.sh with the argument
"./mozilla".  I admit these defaults could be improved, but it's very low
priority.

Changing component to "Build Config" (since that seems the closest to what this
is) and reassigning, and confirming bug, and lowering priority/severity.

Perhaps, though, it would be better to make this clearer in the top of the
run-mozilla.sh script.

Also, in the patch above, viewer and mozilla-bin should both be changed (or
neither).
