Watir and firewatir got merged a while back, it ended up as three gems commonwatir that had code common to both, and then watir and firewatir that had code unique to IE or Firefox.
The problem you are having is that when you are installing watir it is going and getting firewatir since that is required, and it is getting the latest one, which also then wants the newest commonwatir What you need is to get that trio, all in the same version, onto your system together. I wonder if it might be worth trying something like one of the more recent versions of watir such as 1.9.1 or 1.9.2 and see if your scripts work with that. Potentially that might be easier. if not I would remove all watir, firewatir, commonwatir. Then pull in the firewatir gem that is the same version as the watir you want to use gem install firewatir -v 1.6.2 That should also pull in that version of commonwatir (I hope) and then you could install watir 1.6.2 the same way.
