Did some digging. It looks as a timing issue. If the calls to 
mozile.loadCore and the loadModule() calls are made in an onload 
handler, firebug does not complain (and mozile seem to work fine too 
actually). If the calls are made from the root scope, the error is back. 
It does not matter if the mozile object is involved.

In other words: Firebug does not like XMLHttpRequests made from the root 
scope (not even switching from syncronous calls to asyncronous ones).
