I think I've run into the same / related issue. Just upgraded from Firefox 36 to 37.0.1 and with it from Pentadactyl build 20150227 to build 20150412, and after restarting noticed that my ~/.pentadactylrc isn't loaded any more!

I have defined the $HOME environment variable (on Windows 7/x64) to point to another directory outside my Windows user's home, and Pentadactyl previously correctly located my ~/.pentadactylrc. Now, it doesn't; :scriptnames shows no scripts have been sourced. The env.var is correctly accessible from Firefox; :echo services.environment.get("HOME") yields the correct directory.

I'm able to workaround this via the following redirector script, but would appreciate it if this regression is fixed. Thanks!

The problem still exists on build 20160719.xpi. I find the redefinition of the %HOME% variable very useful as I use FirefoxPortable on a usb stick; currently it is necessary to place redirection files on the hosts, not only for .pentadactylrc but for ~/.pentadactyl/plugins.
