I am having the same problems and your website is not even letting me use the 'send updates' page for a request on solving this problem.

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions. Do a clean reinstall. See: Browser will not start up - XUL Runner error after an update

  1. Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
  2. Uninstall your current Firefox version.
  3. Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
  4. Install the fresh copy of Firefox that you downloaded in step 1
