Firefox "can't load XPCOM" - even with complete fresh reinstall
I have tried seemingly everything bar reinstalling Windows 10 to try to get Firefox to work again.
I've moved my profile to an external HDD, and deleted everywhere I know that Firefox is located:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox (OR)
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox
- C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Mozilla\updates
- C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- Plus even the 'roaming' ones, too
AND used the Advanced scan with Revo Uninstaller to remove every other trace of Firefox - registry included.
But after [the ridiculously long process of] reinstalling firefox, the same error message still keeps appearing!
I've ran out of ideas (and running out of patience) as to why it still keeps saying this.
I don't know if it's just because my computer's so old or not, but seems to take at least something like 10 minutes to install it! And to keep on trying to uninstall it and reinstalling it all the time seems to take forever.
Any help will be much appreciated. I don't like the other webbrowsers, and for the time being I'm using a Mozilla-based on called CLIQZ - but I can't install any addons to it, as it's a "privacy browser".
*edit* sorry, didn't see the 'Browsers and Email' section there, my bad
