system error saying it will not start because mozglue.dll is missing from my computer. How is this possible when ive un/re-installed the newest version -win7 64
After using the program Rosetta stone for a few sessions for school Firefox crashed and would not load but only to give me an error message saying that The program can't start because mozglue.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. However, i've done a system restore back to the point when it was working and still received an error. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the software at least 8 times getting the same result every time. I've also deleted all files associated with installed mozilla before finally coming to the support site. Please help! I need this browser to run the speech recognition for Rosetta Stone for school. Thank you in advance, Bern

This is the best way to uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.1 with a Full Version Installer https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
If still fails maybe a cleaner cc...maybe...
