Downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, worked fine, Turned computer on today, Mozilla Firefox, it won't start. Get error message, Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion =5.0.1 maxVersion =5.0.1" What do I need to do to fix it?

We downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, began working with it. It did fine. After about an hour, I turned off my computer. When I turned on my computer, I click on Mozilla Firefox and it won't start. I get this error message, " Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion >=5.0.1 maxVersion <=5.0.1" from XUL Runner. What do I need to do to fix it?

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions. 
Do a clean reinstall.
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 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.

Mozilla won't start after removing calendar

Hello,
I have mozilla 1.7 and I installed the calendar XPI on it as root adn it worked as a user as well...
it was nice but I decided I don't want it anyome and "uninstalled" it like they said in the site :
Delete <appdir>/chrome/calendar.jar
Delete <appdir>/chrome/chrome.rdf
Delete <appdir>/components/xpical.dll (on windows)
Delete <appdir>/components/libxpical.so (on linux)
Delete <appdir>/components/calendar.xpt
when <appdir> will be : /opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-1.7
now mozilla won't start neither as root nor user...
I removed mozilla and reinstalled it with pacman and it still doesn't work. I deleted all the mozilla directories from /root and it doesn't help...
anyone has any ideas?
Thanks,
Grey

it doesn't say anything....
it seems like it's running, I don't get an error or even a new line
if I do 'ps -A'
I can see running
mozilla
run-mozilla.sh
mozilla-bin
mozilla-bin
mozilla-bin
mozilla-bin
but nothing happens...
I tried reinstalling the mozilla-common... but that didn't help as well...
for now I have firefox installed so I can browse... but all my mail was in mozilla...

After reboot firefox won't start. runs in task manager, but won't pop up. reset, safe mode and uninstall/re-install won't help. ok if no reboot.

win7 Pro. has been running firefox ok. but lately with 25 and now 26, the firefox won't start. I can see firefox is running in task manager. but it just won't pop up.
if I download it again and install it, it will run, but every time I reboot the system, it just won't run again.
try: reset, safe mode, uninstall & reinstall, new/clean profile, none of those work.

There may be a corrupted file on Firefox. 
Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)] This is different than a regular uninstall.
If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode. 
To do so, please do the following:
#Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
#Press the power button
#Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
#Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
Please report back with the results of both solutions.

Firefox won't start after 18.0.1 upgrade

I have upgraded to the latest version and then two days later, The mozilla Crash reporter opens and it won't start. Nothing happens when I press details.
I can't run it safe mode. The same thing happens.
I uninstalled and re-installed and same thing.
I then uninstalled rebooted and re-installed V16. That was then ok for a few days then same thing happened.
So I unintstalled rebooted and on went V15 which worked for about 8 hours. However I can't get any version to work now. The Crash Reporter pops up whatever version I have.

Firefox update failed, so I re-installed. Now firefox won't start up at all?

''locking as a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/969557''
So I ran firefox, and it was updating. While updating, firefox crashed for no apparent reason so I had to close it. Afterwards, every time I tried to start up firefox, it gave me the update failed error, followed by a crash less than a second later. I followed some instructions, uninstalling and re-installing firefox (without removing personal data), but now firefox won't start up at all!
Now what?

Firefox won't start; no error message; profile manager also won't start. What can I do?

Suddenly, firefox won't start. I get no error message--it just won't open. System restore to a month before the problem did not help.
From the suggestions on this page: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20will%20not%20start... I did not recently install add-ons or clean the registry, so I think it may be a profile problem. But profile manager will not open--only a tiny window with a white rectangle and no text.
I would like to not lose all my bookmarks. And I would like to continue using Firefox.
What can I do?

dmcritchie, thank you for your reply!
Before I received your response, I tried something that seems to have worked. I used Chrome to go to the Firefox website and downloaded Firefox (without uninstalling it first) and went through the installation process again. For some reason, this worked, even though I already had the latest version of Firefox, and I can now open Firefox successfully.
If it stops working again, I will try your suggestion. In the meantime, thank you much!

Firefox won't start after an update. Firefox help says check virtualization settings. What is virtualization settings and where do you check them and for what? I have Windows XP

Firefox won't start after downloading update. I've reinstalled Firefox, still won't start. Help says check virtualization settings. What and where are virtualization settings? I have Windows XP.

This might be Zone Alarm since it provides virtualization. Please try the instructions to turn off virtualization in the following support question

Yesterday it worked perfectly, now it won't start up.

Hello there, My pc is working on Windows Vista, no problems. Yesterday (and before) all worked perfectly and to day I have downloaded my email, used I.E. but my mozilla firefox won't start up. I have (double) checked the registry for flows (with Registry Booster and Winferno R. Power cleaner) nothing wrong. I have closed down my pc and rebooted without result.
Awaiting your advice, with friendly greetings

What installed iPhoto there in the first place? Was it the same version of iPhoto that came with the Mac? Was iLife added at a later time from a Mac Box Set? You can selectively install iPhoto, and then apply the appropriate iLife update without taking it to the shop, after removing the application, or recover it from your backup.

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. (continued)

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.

First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16. In order to better manage the memory that Firefox uses please see these troubleshooting steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram Firefox Uses too much RAM]

Firefox 3.6.3 won't start with a particular file:///

I can do {"c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" file:///n:\911c\OwenShow\helphtm\ohelpfrm.htm} but I can't do the same thing in a windows exec; firefox runs and hangs-up in the background. I assume this is FF's problem because when I run firefox again after killing it, the file appears correctly; or if I run firefox, and then try the exact same exec process, it works (i.e., in a 2nd tab). And I think closing "Firefox won't start after update 3.6.3 downloads and installs" was ridiculous, since the supposed solution ENDED WITH A QUESTION and WAS NOT a solution. j.g. owen * email: [email protected] * web: http://owenlabs.org

And wonderful!
Updated OSX (10.6.5) - and then thought what the heck, I'll trying enabling Firefox Sync. And it worked - for a couple of days. Until I accepted the update for Firefox Sync (1.5.1) - and I am back where I started, nothing works.
I have no clue about this

I was updated to Firefox 36 automatically, however, it won't start. I have tried firefox safe mode, reinstalling, uninstalling avg antivirus, eks.

Computer rebooted overnight to install updates. Everything else was fine, but now Firefox, which was updated to version 36, will not launch. Basically, I double click on it, I get a little disk access, and then nothing. I have tried starting in firefox safe mode. Same thing happens. I have uninstalled by deleting entire Mozilla Firefox from program files and reinstalling. Still won't start. I have uninstalled an old version of AVG. Still won't start. I have Microsoft Security Essentials running, and have updated it. Still won't start. I need some new ideas.

I just want to confirm one step that you took. When you say you deleted the Firefox content from program files, this may not have taken all of the Firefox related components off of your computer.
The steps you should follow to remove a potentially damaged install of firefox are:
Open your start menu, select 'program files'. In program files, select 'Programs and Features', this should open your 'Uninstall or change a program' window. In this window locate your 'Mozilla Firefox' program. Select the program with a left click then select 'Uninstall', which should appear once the program is highlighted.
This process will remove changes to the registry that may be causing issues. After fully uninstalling firefox from your programs, perform a fresh install of the latest version of the browser.
If you have already performed this process with no success then there may be other issues related to your recent windows updates, this is not uncommon. If you are having issues after a fresh install of Firefox, after using the instructions above, please check to see if your 'Internet Explorer' browser is having the same issues, if so then you may have more serious problems that will require further action.

Firefox 4.0 won't start. Says it is not supported on this architecture. I have Mac os X

Firefox 4.0 won't start. Says it is not supported on this architecture. I have Mac os X

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Won't start as it says it already is .. even though I've done a 'cold restart'.. answer to look for xpicleanup.dat doesn't work as I don't have that file on my system

quite frustrating...when I first got messasge that firefox couldn't start I 'restarted' my system.. still got same message that another copy was running and I had to restart (or stop other copy).
Still go message. then tried cold start...i.e. shut down and then start...
then found msage about looking for and deleting xpicleanup.dat... could not find it on path suggested so I did 'search' for the file.. it's not on my computer and firefox won't start...should I just earse it and download firefox again

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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 (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.
