Firefox doesn't start and I get this: "Error: Platform version '18.0.1' is not compatible with minVersion = 18.0 maxVersion 18.0
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 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.

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.)

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then disable Virtualization and reinstall Firefox.<br />
Other security software may have similar features to prevent Firefox from updating files properly.

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\).

XULRUNNER Error: Platform version '6.0.2 is not compatible with min Version >= 6.0.1 max Version < 6.0.1
What is this about and how can I retsore access to Firefox on my pc?If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
