Firefox crashes - Even after un-install - re-install

I cannot get Firefox to open at all. This has been an issue on this laptop for a while now. I un-installed it including removing the Program Files sub-folder for Firefox. After the installer completed, it tried to open it and it crashed. I have the latest Windows 10 updates installed and have run security scans on this laptop from various vendors. There is no spyware, viruses or other malware.

This could be a compatibility problem between Webroot SecureAnywhere and Malwarebytes software installed on your computer.

Update the above. If there is still a problem, disable it.

This is what I get when I try to install....... C:\users\Gil\App\Data\temp\7zSFDDE\setup-stub.exe

The extended attributes are inconsistent.

 What this means I have no idea,perhaps because I am 90 yrs old!!!!!

Some protection programs don't like the update/install stubs. Go here for the full installer.

The first report talks about you having an outdated flash player. Process Type plugin (web) Filename: NPSWF32_18_0_0_232.dll

Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.
