(Whiteboard: [CLOSEME 2011-1-1]) 

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20090925 Minefield/3.7a1pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20090925 Minefield/3.7a1pre

I rebooted Firefox today.
Firefox failed to start.
From Linux Shell, got the error message:

Error: Platform version '' is not compatible with
minVersion >= 1.9.2b1pre
maxVersion <= 1.9.2b1pre

Prior to reboot, I was using version: 3.6b1pre
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2b1pre)
Gecko/20090924 Namoroka/3.6b1pre

I presume I was hit with the update for: 
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20090925 Minefield/3.7a1pre

Manual download and install seems to be working (still need to finalize re-installation).

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Happened once on reboot (and with 2nd reboot).

Firefox wasn't able to restart on it's own without manual download and re-install of latest version of software which seems to have fixed the problem.  

Would not open when hit my shortcut from Linux Windows environment.  See error above when starting from shell.

If you start firefox in safe mode does it work?

I marked it as resolved.

I had a Hard Drive Crash more or less concurrently with the above issue, I think.

Periodically I have "updates" knock out Minefield, and have to re-download it, but that seems to be a different issue.
