Cannot open Firefox due to this message: Error: Platform version "6.0.2" is not compatible with minVersion =6.0.1 maxVersion =6.0.1
I cannot open Mozilla Firefox. Instead, a XULRunner dialog box appears with the message: Error: Platform version "6.0.2" is not compatible with minVersion >=6.0.1 maxVersion<=6.0.1 edit
Can you please tell me how to solve this problem? I have been running Mozilla Firefox on my Dell laptop with Windows 7 os.
Thanks
If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.

I should have added, this popup relates to XULRunner. I suppose this is a support file that needs to run for firefox to open and run properly.
That can happen if the updater wasn't able to update (replace) all the files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

When I try to start up Firefox, I immediately get a samll window with the above message. It looks like this:
XULRunner
Platform version 8.0.1 is not compatible with miniVersion>=7.0.1
maxVersion<=7.0.1Be sure to delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing Firefox as the usual cause of this problem in that not all files got updated properly and some .ini files like application.ini and platform.ini are still older versions.

I noticed that firefox updated last night before I shut down my computer, then when I turned it on this morning I received the error message I described above. It will not let me open firefox.
I solved the problem by reinstalling the updated version and it now works fine. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

Firefox worked and then when I shut down and restarted I suddenly started getting this message. What can I do?
Such an error is always caused by inconsistent files in the Firefox program folder (application.ini and/or platform.ini and possibly others) and your only option is to reinstall that version of Firefox, either via the software repositories or the Mozilla server.<br />
Be sure to delete all files in that folder before copying the files from that tar.bz2 archive.<

I also did a System Restore and that didn't clear the problem, either.

Other security software may have similar features to prevent Firefox from updating files properly.
