Firefox will not now open in Windows 10 but opens in safe mode. When I try to open in windows 10 I keep getting error code: XUL Runner Error: Platform version "88.0.1" is not compatible with minVersion > = 88.0 maxVersion > = 88.0

and Firefox does not open.

An error message about XPCOM missing or about platform version usually happens because of a failed Firefox update that left you with a mixture of old and updated files in the Firefox program folder. This can happen in case security software was keeping a handle of some of the files in the Firefox program folder preventing Firefox from replacing all the files. You need to do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder to ensure that all files are replaced. You may have to disable security software temporarily in case the problem persists.
