I get the following message when I attempt to start Firefox 5.0 - Error: Platform version 2.0.1 is not compatible with minVersion = 5.0 maxVersion = 5.0
I was asked to upgrade to version 5.0 tonight. As soon as I upgraded, Firefox stopped working with the above error. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, but I got the same message.

This problem occurred shortly after updating to Firefox 5.0 I kept getting reminders to update to 5.0 When I finally decided to update, the first 4 or 5 attempts failed for one reason or another always with a different error message At some point after and extended shutdown of the computer 5.0 was initiated.
The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.
You need to do a clean reinstall.

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.<

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 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 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.

Make sure that , they are not inside Pictures folder any more and try to open backup from Lighrtroom and check..

If that doesn't work, you can uninstall FF and do a clean install. You'll prob lose your bookmarks, history, etc, though, so if you do this set up Sync first! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync-and-how-do-i-use-it -

as above
This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
