Not been able to open firefox for days just keep getting crash reporter, tried everything, no joy

for the past few days, a week at most, i've been unable to open firefox, it just keeps giving me the crash reporter..
i always use firefox, i've not installed any add ons (i did install dropbox lately but thats about it), i always have adblockplus running, have done for months never had a problem
having to use Opera at the minute cos Chrome is the slowest browser known to man (why everyone sings its praises i'll never know)
then one day, i tried opening firefox, it said checking compatibility of add-ons, then gave the crash reporter box, not been able to do anything since
i've followed all guides on here, i've reset all settings, i've updated the add-ons it said i had, i've tried booting in safe mode..
..all with the same result, crash reporter
so please dont tell me to go into firefox and change settings as i cant even open firefox
here is my latest crash report ID
Crash ID: bp-27aa708f-12d0-4b17-ac96-0961a2130115

Further info
Please follow the instructions in the article from the above post. In fct you have a second suspicious file showing on your report so look specifically at and scan files ''gblrofmx.dll'' & ''sprotector.dll''
If possible I suggest you quarantine the files rather than deleting them immediately. Also note that you may need to start Windows in safe mode (or Windows safemode with network access) in order to find and move or delete the files.

I use Photon flash browser on my mini iPad, and for two days I keep getting crash reports for Mozilla?

I use Photon Flash Player on my mini iPad, for the last two days I keep getting crash reports from Mozilla. How can I fix this issue as it is getting really irritating? II get on Facebook for a couple of minutes and it crashes or I cannot get on at all?

Hi 11Scarlett24,
The Photon Flash Player browser is not created by Mozilla, and we have no way of providing support for it.
Please reach out to the developers directly for problems with this application.

I have not been able to open Gmail for weeks. Why not? I can do it on Internet Explorer. I tried reverting to a previous edition of Firefox; didn't work. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox; didn't work. Please advise.

I think I have the most recent Firefox version, last installation was Sunday, ‎June ‎05, ‎2011, ‏‎4:47:47 PM.

The error often has the name of the extension in it in some manner, '''supply the message wording''' then at least we'd have an idea of what you see. Plus we really don't know what you did look at, or what you actually tried of what you did look at.
For instance "AVG Free" shows something like tavgp in the message, if I recall correctly, so they aren't always real obvious unless you've seen it before.
But if you really went through some of help pages you would have tried in Safe Mode, gone through the diagnostics, and almost certainly gone through all your extensions turning half off then have of those on or have of those just turned off back on again and repeat -- not fun but it doesn't take a real long time, but I'd rather try other ways first, because I have a lot of extensions and many are already turned off because of Firefox changes for the worse, certainly not because I don't need them.

I haven't been able to open Firefox for over a week. I would like to uninstall it, but I can't because it says it's open, but I don't see it is. Please tell me what to do.

It has been over a week since I click to open mozilla and it won't. This has never happened before. I decided to uninstall it and install it back again to see if it would work, but a window pops up and says to close it. I can't get it to open it, so how can I close it?

It is probably not necessary to uninstall/reinstall.
Must be the "hang at exit" problem.

My iphoto9 has not been able to open for over 10 days!! I can't load my Christmas pics, etc. I know the pics are still there because I can access them through a round about way. Can anyone help me to OPEN iPHOTO!?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

I downloaded the 30 day free trial of Photoshop on 9/11, but have not been able to open it, or even find it on my computer. I do have the Adobe Create Cloud icon, and when I click it it list PS as downloaded and lets me access tutorials, but that is all.

Hi Homerguy,
If you are using Mac, please open the finder window click on go and choose applications and try to launch Photoshop from there.
If windows, please navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and double click on the Photoshop.exe file.
Thanks

I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:lightroom.exe Application Version:3.4.1.10

I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:lightroom.exe Application Version:3.4.1.10

First thing to try is the latest version of Lightroom (currently 5.6). If it don't crash, then problem solved - upgrade.
If Lr5 won't run on your machine, then Lr4 instead.
If both Lr5 and Lr4 crash on your machine, then at least you know it's a not a Lightroom version problem but something wonked in your system.
If you can't figure out how to resolve the crash on the system you have, then it's time for a new system (or try another converter/editor app).
PS - A few things to try:
* After re-installing new version, if that doesn't fix it, then get rid of all Lightroom-related data files (rename them so they can be restored), in case problem is in Lr data file.
* Remove all non-essential hardware in case problem is hardware/driver.
* Startup up machine with minimal software services.
* If still no go, consider updating driver software, including mainboard drivers and/or bios firmware if need be.
* Of course run all the system hardware and software diagnostics you can - problem could be failing disk or ram..
* Check system event logs for any clues.
If you don't know how to do some of these things - ask.
Do not say "you've tried everything" unless you want a lecture - there is most definitely something you haven't tried. It's like when you can't find your car keys - you haven't looked everywhere - there is somewhere you haven't looked!
PS - Has Lightroom EVER worked on your machine? what's changed since then..
Good luck,
Rob

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and I have several WordPerfect files which I have not been able to open is there a way to do this?

I have recently purchased my first Mac (MacBook Pro) and I have several Word Perfect (.wpd) documents. I have not been able to open these documents and I am wondering if there is a way to do this. I have both iWorks and Office for a Mac

If you have iWorks, Pages should open them. For a free solution, try Open Office.

I have not been able to send email for some time but now i have stopped being able to recieve email.

i have not been able to send emails for some time but in the last two days ive stopped being able to receive, the message says 'username or password incorrect' ive checked all the settings, ive deleated accout and set up again, ive rebooted phone. i tried to sync with pc but this also fails any ideas

That is correct, They don't seem to know about Mac, never got a single scrap of help from them. Try recreating your account from scratch, delete the account, (write down all your settings first) and add an account, see if that works, and if it does, delete the first account to prevent things doubling up on you. I think that's what I did, it was quite a while ago. Hope this helps, or gets you pointed in the right direction. Maybe go to At&t and try creating another account, and if ti works, delete the first.
One other tihing I did was to reset Safari, as AT&T uses the net, that's about all I can remember, like I said it was awhile ago.
