Comment(by Sebastian):

 This happens because firefox is not installed. When building a firefox
 installer and using that one, the path is properly obfuscated. Since it
 also doesn't happen for Portable Firefox, we should figure out what's
 different and how they manage to avoid leaking the path here.
