Please use the other scanners cor-el listed as well. If after you run them and restart your PC, please manually search your computer (including hidden files) for yezmbsrz.dll.
Also, click the start button, type in msconfig, press enter, and go to startup. Find the file, and uncheck the checkbox next to it. You should also be able to see the file location the file is store in to delete it.

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
- Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
- In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
- From that explorer window, double-click on the Mozilla folder, then double-click on Firefox and then on Crash reports. Double-click on submitted.
- Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to View > Arrange Icons by > Modified to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
- Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
- Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

You have a malware problem.
This crash is usually caused by malware and the involved, randomly named, file in your case is yezmbsrz.dll as can be seen in the modules list of the crash report.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
