mozilla crash, won't open
Hello! I was using Firefox and opened a secure skype link which lead to my computer crashing. Upon restarting my computer, the following message appears anytime I attempt to open Mozilla. I also "refreshed" Mozilla when I started the process of uninstalling. I did not end up uninstalling.
"XML Parsing Error: undefined entity

Let’s do a full clean re-install;
Note: Firefox comes in three or more folders on all computers. They are;
Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And two folders in the profile of each user on the computer for each Firefox profile for that user.
If you remove the Firefox folder, the user profiles would not be affected.
Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Note: Check Both Folders
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
Do Not remove any profile folders.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

Perfect, thank you! It's up and running again.
So just to recap, I uninstalled Mozilla through the Firefox uninstaller wizard. Then I searched "Mozilla" and "firefox" on my computer, found and removed 300+ extra files. I restarted my Surface (didn't need to use safe mode) then ran CCleaner. I ran "custom clean" and removed all remaining registries. I then downloaded Firefox from the link you provided and we're good to go.
Thank you again!
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
