Google Earth crashing when opening

Solution 1:

Solved by looking at the log.

I removed

/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/NPLoaderOSX.plugin/Contents/MacOS/NPLoaderOSX

Solution 2:

I had the same problem the Facebook plugin fbplugin_1_0_0.plugin. Once it was deleted, Google Earth opened normally.

Solution 3:

I had same problem on iMAC running 10.9.5. I didn't have either of those previously mentioned plugins. I did have only one, a "Dish Anywhere Player.plugin" in Users/(My Name)/Library/Internet Plug-ins. When I trashed that plug-in then Google Earth would open and operate properly.

Solution 4:

My guilty plugin was:

WebVideoPlugin.plugin

Installed by Swann videos systems

I moved my plug-ins to a different folder ½ at a time until GE stayed open.
