After my / disk seemed to be failing and found many files disappeared, I decided to remove it. I moved my other disk to it's place. Long story omitted.
After installing my backup of /home and seeing firefox not restart, I started it from the command line with the immediate error:
Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.5 and 1.9.0.5.
I'm sorry, I'm at a complete loss. What's a GRE?

It's probably misspelt and something on your disk was eaten by a GRUE.
Try "sudo xulrunner --register-global", because somehow firefox believes that it cannot find a working xulrunner instance on your machine.
Do that *after* you checked that firefox and xulrunner are updated to the latest versions:
[angenenr@shutdown ~]$rpm -q firefox xulrunner firefox-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.x86_64 xulrunner-1.9.0.5-1.el5.x86_64 [angenenr@shutdown ~]$
Cheers,

I thank you! Will peruse the above URL when I have a working Firefox. This was working before hard drive change.

Yes, but does it work again after doing that? If not - try moving your .mozilla directory somewhere safe and try again. Firefox will build a new .mozilla directory then.
If that works, remove that .mozilla and move back your old copy. Then try
xulrunner --register-user
Cheers,

It occurred to me to rpm -e firefox and rpm -e --nodeps xulrunner. After yum install firefox xlrunner completed, I successfully brought up firefox. Don't know what the problem was, but I'm happy now. Moving .mozilla had occurred to me if reinstalling both firefox and xlrunner didn't work. This is something I don't really want to do as I don't know where firefox keeps my login/passwords.
Thanks for your input.
