I keep getting erroe message XPCOM can't load. Help
I have a Lenovo IdeaPad P400 and I am running Windows 8.1. While trying to remove AVG toolbar(I got hijacked and am having trouble removing it)Even though I did nothing to Mozilla I now keep getting an error message at start up that says "can't load XPCOM" when I try to uninstall from the control panel nothing happens. If I try remove it form the C:files (86) location there are two files one says Mozilla Firefox and the other one is Mozilla Maintenance files do I delete both files and then reinstall?

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
- Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
- After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
- Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.
