XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /opt/firefox/libmozgtk.so:

Couldn't load XPCOM.

And you have checked that that library is installed, yes? Your script appears to contain no dependency checks...
And how could i check dependency ? no idea actually.
Anyway after installing other programs it suddenly started working, but i have no idea how to figure it out.
Use 'ldd' on your binary to find the libraries it's linked against, then use look for packages that provide them via dpkg, apt-file etc.
One of those other programs probably had libgtk-3-0 listed as a dependency. That's the advantage of using distro provided packages, you don't have to hunt down those libraries yourself.
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

Ok thanks will give it a try.

But then you have to use software from ancient Egypt times.
Firefox from stable repos is useless to me, doesn't work properly with some GTK themes and with most extensions.
yes, i am aware of the differences.
nevertheless even 100% FOSS chromium is still essesntially google's child.
several projects to "ungoogle" chromium exist, e.g. https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium
