After loading the 5.0 update Firefox has this error message - Error: Platform version '2.0.1' is not compatible with minVersion =5.0.1.maxVersion =5.0.1. Firefox won't open now.
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.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* 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.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I tried some of the instructions for opening in Safe Mode but to no avail.
my first suggestion would be to reinstall. No uninstall, just run the installer again to replace any corrupted files (it sound like something may well be corrupted.)
