Problem after reinstall firefox

Question

After uninstalling firefox using sudo apt-get purge firefox and deleting .mozilla/firefox/ in home directory. I tried to un/reinstall it again many times, but I always got this message when I ran firefox -v

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /opt/firefox/libxul.so:
libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

Has anybody any idea how to resolve this problem? I'm using ubuntu 16.04 LTS

UPDATE: I tried to remove /opt/firefox/ directory and this is what I got when I ran sudo apt-get install firefox

Solution

Confirm which Firefox software is installed...

dpkg -l *firefox* | grep ii

Then uninstall the current Firefox...

sudo apt-get purge firefox-mozilla-build

And install the new version...

sudo apt-get install firefox
sudo apt-get install libdbus-glib-1-2 # use only if install fails, then retry install

Where are you getting your copy of Firefox? Ubuntu repositories? Mozilla?

[Ali Razmdideh]

Try this command sudo apt update && sudo apt install --reinstall libdbus-glib-1-2

Remove the old version of Firefox first.
