I had Firefox on my MAC 10.13.6 but tried to check on whether I needed update a few days ago, and lost Firefox altogether. Then, I tried just getting a new Firefox, but have downloaded many times and I can't get installed. I have received even more Mozilla Crash Reporter messages and have clicked tell Mozilla about this crash at least 10 times (probably more). I sent my name and described problem many times. I have been trying every day. I got the same Crash Reported screen again today. I do have a file folder on my desktop that recently appeared. It says Old Firefox Data, but I haven't been ale to open that. I have read many answers on line but have not found one to address this.

Let’s do a full clean re-install;

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)

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.
