firefox updates troubles
I use the Firefox Browser for many years now. It is the best imho. There is one thing though which is very annoying. After an upgrade quite often I can not restart firefox but I get the message "... can not load Xpcom" or I can restart but I get the same message when I try to open a weblink in Thunderbird. I am then forced to completely reinstall firefox with the consequence that all my settings, add ons and extensions are gone. It takes a lot of my time to reconfigure everything. What can be done to avoid all that?

Please ignore the spam reply posted earlier in this thread.
An error message about XPCOM missing or about platform version usually happens because of a failed Firefox update that left you with a mixture of old and updated files in the Firefox program folder. This can happen in case security software was keeping a handle of some of the files in the Firefox program folder preventing Firefox from replacing all the files. You need to do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder to ensure that all files are replaced. You may have to disable security software temporarily in case the problem persists.
