Tar's command line syntax is weird.  And, I'm not sure --bzip2 is 
supported by Sun tar (I don't think it is... looks like a GNU tar 
extension to me.)  Its probably a parse error.   I'd try this command 
instead:

bzip2 -dc  xulrunner-18.1.4-source.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -

That will probably work better.
