I am trying my hand at building a simple extension for Firefox, but got the following error when running web-ext run:
Error: not found: firefox
at F (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/web-ext/node_modules/fx-runner/node_modules/which/which.js:63:19)
at E (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/web-ext/node_modules/fx-runner/node_modules/which/which.js:72:29)

NOTE: I am running this in Ubuntu Linux subsystem for Windows 10. Not sure if that affects anything, but that's why the directory structures are a bit weird. I've also tried running the same commands on Firefox Developer Edition with the same results.
I tried the following commands:
web-ext run -v
web-ext run -v --firefox="C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
These give the following response:

What do you guys think is the problem?
For reference, it's a couple steps before this problem: Failed to sign Firefox WebExtensions with web-ext
