Any error in the javascript code you put in your original mozilla.cfg 
(mozilla.txt ?) file will result in such error.

for Example, in order to debug I used this:

var env_mozdebug= getenv("MOZILLA_DEBUG");
var env_user    = getenv("USER");

if (env_mozdebug) {
         displayError("debug mozilla.cfg", "\n user:" + env_user + "\n");
}

in shell I set:
$ export MOZILLA_DEBUG=1

Once I forgot a +  (string concatenation) , then I had the error you 
mentionned . that's just a hint ..., hope it helps.
