You can also just run meek-client without the Firefox helper. It has a
standalone mode. Just change the torrc line

ClientTransportPlugin meek exec ./TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/meek-client-torbrowser -- ./TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/meek-client

to

ClientTransportPlugin meek exec ./TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/meek-client

There's a man page for meek-client:
