Defective DLL, libGLESv2.dll gives me an error when ziping in winzip
Adding Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\libGLESv2.dll failed. Can I just download that file?

I suggest this procedure to replace the entire program folder from a known good source:
Clean Reinstall
(1) Download a fresh installer for Firefox 34 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox.
(3) Rename the program folder
(32-bit Windows folder names)
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(64-bit Windows folder names)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Then you can start Firefox up again (and restore your earlier session using the History menu, if applicable) and test.
Any improvement?
Note: Some recently installed plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
- \OldFirefox\Plugins
- \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

That said, WinZip has no business using a DLL in Firefox's program folder, so there could be a problem elsewhere on the system.
