This is very strange. Are you running from a directory that has been deleted?
Try 'man getcwd' to learn more about getcwd; it is a function that returns the
current working directory.

It shouldn't; this is normal, in fact /bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash

This is not an issue, since sh and firefox are not being linked together as
binaries. In fact, the OS is designed to run both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries.
Just in case it is a working directory problem, I suggest trying
cd ~
firefox
to see if the problem is the same.
