You are right. There were a ton of such messages, plus other messages
concerning load failures of radeonsi, and other libraries.
about:support contained so many errors, that I was surprised I even had the
opportunity to use Firefox for many days.

Since the libraries were available in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH, I tried to run

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH='foo/mesa_n_version/usr/lib64/'
LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH='foo/mesa_n_version/usr/lib64/dri' firefox

instead of

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH='foo/mesa_n_version/usr/$LIB/'
LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH='foo/mesa_n_version/usr/$LIB/dri' firefox

and I got no errors except for those few lines.

about:support is fine too.

I don't know why $LIB caused such problems to Firefox in Fedora 27.
I am actually testing again both Mesa 17.0.5 and 18.0.0
