Get message unable to load XPCOM trying to start applications

Original title: unable to load XPCOM

I get the message "Unable to load XPCOM" on several applications and they launch.  Couldn't find anything on this site to help on this.  Anyone know the fix?

Hello

Thanks to join Microsoft Community where you will find all the required information on the Windows operating systems!

You get message unable to load XPCOM trying to run some applications.

XPCOM is Mozilla-related.

To work with the issue, I suggest to uninstall Mozilla Firefox and check if the problem persists.

To uninstall a program:

a. press the Windows key + W

b. now, select applications if it is not selected

Hit and c. Type appwiz.cpl enter and uninstall the program from the list.

If the issue is not persistent, then to work with the issue, I suggest you to post a query in the Mozilla support forum.

You could try to get assistance for the Mozilla support forum:

    Hello RBCyr, because you have indicated that the problem began to occur after a windows system restore please first try a clean reinstall of firefox:

    • Download the Setup file of firefox full of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

    Can't get on the line, the browser says "failed to load XPCOM" icon, what can I do? Help, please. I'm not very savvy computer. Please keep it very simple.

    This may be caused by an update of Firefox failure that left you with a mixture of old and update files in the Firefox program folder.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • I can't read my emails or spam, to try to send it, I get the error message 'Unable to load the rich text editor', enamel works with Google, ok, how can I solve this problem in Firefox?

    Error message for Virgin Gmail

    "Unable to load the rich text editor.

    What is the solution?

    You can see https://support.mozilla.com/questions/896294
    and look at this thread, the only real connection so far is it is very recent and it involves blank e-mail.

    Those who are in this thread say blank incoming emails doesn't work except if they Disable Adblock Plus from the icon of ADP.

    In fact, the rich text editor would be in a separate file, there is most likely a connection to ADP because some of these files may be blocked. I used to have a lot of problem in this forum on the web and the tools were blocked (didn't really need them) just because I block a lot of things here: like animals to fur in nurse uniforms, a trash can (toolkit) and that blue area at the bottom of this page that interferes with scrolling and the use of the key 'end '.

  • Error message: unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible

    I know that others have had this problem but none of the validated answers turned out to be viable. When I try to start Firefox, the browser does not open and I see the following message appears: "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. "I am running Windows 8.1.

    It's what happened leading up to this problem. I was passing through normally when I received a pop up message that says a threat has been detected, and Mozilla had a security patch that I have to download. This is the expedition of phishing malware believer, I closed the browser and restart the computer without having to download anything. When I restarted the computer, everything was normal and I googled for information on what had just happened, to see if I really needed a security patch. A forum suggested that I already have a virus/malware that caused the popup, and that I should deal with the possibility that updating Firefox. Then I refreshed Firefox, which seemed harmless enough. The update took the time, so I finally closed the window to refresh. Maybe I should let the window update but it was taken way too long - after that it's my problem to start with the error message.

    Since then, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I also deleted the profile folder in the hope that it would force the creation of a new folder. Nothing has worked. Someone has suggestions for Firefox run again?

    Thank you!

    Hi jbspear, please press the windows key + r and open: %APPDATA%\protector.exe

    There you should find a folder named "Mozilla". try to rename it to something like "Mozilla.bak" (or delete it if you don't like your old firefox bookmarks, passwords and customizations) and then try to restart firefox...

  • Began is registry and Windows XP error message not be loading not: trying to reinstall XP but error Reg stops the process

    I have a home built computer works very well with Windows XP for about two years, but has recently started having a blue error screen registry which stops at Windows XP to load.

    In part, the following text is displayed:
    Registry error
    Technical information:
    STOP: 0 X 00000051 (0X00000001, 0XE112E8C8, 0X005D4000)

    I can get to the BIOS screen and things are defined as usual as I can tell.  I can get it to the advanced screen by pressing F8 but no matter what I click on, such that start in "Safe Mode" or "last known good configuration" always ends up to the blue screen with registry error.

    I have the Windows XP disc and can pass it through all the preloading stuff, but when you get to the screen to choose the repair or start the new installation, no matter what I choose, it always comes back to the blue screen and error in registry.  Is there a way to correct the registry error so I can get Windows XP to load - from the disc or other?  If the registry error cannot be corrected, wiping my drive hard clean help?  If so, how do I?

    Grasping at straws, on the off-chance that your video driver is at fault here, on the Hirens boot disk, you can go to
    Programs-> Editors / viewers-> Notepad ++
    to start a text editor.  Once opened, go to file-> open and open the "Boot.ini" file located in the root directory of your boot drive.  "Find the line under" [Operating Systems] and add the switches "/ basevideo/SOS" (without the quotes) at the end of the line.  Save the file (file-> save) and try restarting your machine.  These switches should force your machine to boot standard 640 x 480 VGA video independent of any driver you have loaded.  If your computer starts, you need to reinstall the video driver for what video card you have (visit the website of your computer manufacturer).  If you do this, then you will need to re - edit the file in the way he had, it will start normally.

    More information about the Boot.ini file is here:
    "Switch options available for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Boot.ini files"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/833721 >

    If all goes well, if nothing else, the /SOS switch displays driver that has been modified to load before the crash.

    My only suggestion is to use Hirens to back up your data before reinstalling Windows.
