Have started getting XUL Runner Error: Platform version '1.9.2.7' is not compatible with minVersion = 1.9.2.8 maxversion = 1.9.2.8.... when Firefox is trying to start... and it doesn't start. Anyone any ideas what has happened?
When I try to start it then nothing happens and eventually the XUL Runner error appears.
Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.<br />
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

firefox won't launch, and the above error message appears.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program 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. -
There aren't a lot of details in addition to what I put in the question field. Just got the FF beta v4 and used it fine, but when I attempted to launch it today, I got the error. The only info not listed there is the error title, XULRunner, which may be helpful. Other than that, I have a screen shot of it if that would be helpful. That's about it.

After the most recent FF update, FF 3.6.6 will not load, citing the error message: "XULRunner / Error: Platform version '1.9.2.3' is not compatible with minVersion>=1.9.2.6 / maxVersion". Tried updating XULRunner with no luck. Downloaded fresh copy and installed. Still no luck.

tried to create new profile using Terminal but error message. cannot open in safe mode, instructions are only for windows All my bookmarks are in firefox
I had already tried a reinstall before, but thanks for the suggestion. Starting FF in Safe mode did not help either.
XULRunner is specific to FF. Mostly found discussion about using the code in web pages when I used Google before posting.
When FF went from version 3.6.14 to version 3.6.15 this issue started. Please note the Error message and the version info I just mentioned.
'''"Platform version '1.9.2.15' is not compatible with minVersion > =1.9.2.14 maxVersion < = 1.9.2.14"'''
'''The Platform was revved up from 1.9.2.14 to1.9.2.15'''
I could not find information on: minVersion or maxVersion much less how to change them in XULRunner.
'''''It is definitely a Mozilla FF issue'''''.
Avast sandbox is up to date and works just fine with everything else. More importantly it worked just before the update was installed.
The only reason I bothered with the update is because Mozilla touted it as a security issue and there was NO mention of any known issues with sandbox software. -
Before FireFox was updated to ver 3.6.15, FF would open in Avast sandbox with no issue. Since the update to FF I can only open FF outside of Avast sandbox. Avast version 6.0.1000
I turned off all Add-ons and still No Joy!
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit; I7-950 CPU, fresh reboot does not fix this issue.

I received this error after installing 3.6.8 and launching Firefox. I read the two related articles and the help suggested did not work.
I have gone so far as to search for and delete all instances of "Firefox", "Mozilla" that I found, as well as going through the registry and deleting all "Firefox" and "Mozilla" entries there as well.
I then downloaded from the /all site (listed in the other thread answer) the installer file and reinstalled, and got the above error when launching Firefox.Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.<br />

I cannot access download.mozilla.org. I need to do a fresh install after something went wrong with my updates and now Firefox won't even open so I am using Safari. I don't know why I can't get download.mozilla.org: is it because I am in China and it's now been blocked or is there a problem with the website?

Error: Platform version 1.9.2.4 is not compatibale with minVersion >=1.9.2.6 maxVersion =1.9.2.6 maxVersion
Eric, this can happen after a failed update that partially changed your Firefox install directory.
Try a clean reinstall:
1. Download the Firefox installer from [http://mozilla.com Mozilla.com] and save it to your desktop or other location.
2. Make sure that Firefox is closed completely
3. Delete the Firefox installation directory (On Windows, this is typically the C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox folder that contains "firefox.exe" and other Firefox program files and folders).
4. Reinstall Firefox by running the installer you downloaded previously.
Your personal settings, including bookmarks and history, will not be lost.
