I don't know anything about chrooting, but that error message appears to be a Firefox one - looks like
two applicable instances of that error in the Firefox source (at least in that unofficial Github copy of the source).
If you feel like figuring out Mozilla's C++ then you could workout out exactly why the error is occurring, but it's clear they're both concerning argv[0] - i.e. the command being run - so I would first confirm with "
which firefox-esr" what it is you're calling.
Also, I don't know the relevance, but it seems odd that /usr/bin/firefox-esr points to /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr whilst /usr/bin/firefox doesn't.
Do you get same or different error messages when executing /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr directly, or with /usr/bin/firefox instead?
Maybe test with passing -help or -version
options to see if they result in different errors which narrow down what the cause is.
