Original Firefox ESR 115 and MyPal68 working fine from runas.
Please, сould you check the launch of the browser through the standard "Runas" command?

I can't even get the browser to run with runas on my end.

Does the latest release fix the issue?

Yes, problem fixed.
I checked "r3dfox-136.0.4.en-US.win64.portable" and "runas" worked fine in Win7 Pro x64.
No errors in about:support, GPU-process started & worked.
Thanks!
Is it possible to fix next build 128.x?

I forgot you reported the issue with 128. Does the previous 136 or 135 release work?

Release 136.0.4.2403 (Build ID 20250419204943) - have problem with "runas".
Release 136.0.4.5503 (b136.0.4-1) (Build ID 20250522033237) - no problem with "runas".

@e3kskoy7wqk I might rebase 128 ESR off of your 128 rework code. Are there any major issues I should be aware of with 128 or is that codebase pretty stable?

[e3kskoy7wqk]

It should be fairly stable, since my current patchset was incrementally upgraded from the patches for version 128. However, I haven't conducted extensive testing on it.
