Gotta delete chrome's config files in your user dir. You'll lose bookmarks.

Re: Chrome wont open in Ubuntu 14.04
That was my initial (one time) impression too and I've given chrome a miss. I'm ok with FF for the time being. It's kinda grown on me. Everything seems full of spyware anymore unless you pay attention though.Comment

i can't do this on firefox;! at least i don't know how to do it
OK solved:</p> 1) Open you file browser ("Files" in the launcher)</p> 2) Then go up to "edit" in the top of screen menu bar and select preferences.</p> 3) Then tick "Show hidden and backup files"</p> 4) Go back to your file browser and scroll down to ".local" and open the folder.</p> 5) Then open "share" folder.</p> 6) Open "applications" folder.</p> 7) Select every folder with chrome in it's name and trash (empty trash)</p> 8) Open the launcher "Search your computer and online sources" App in the launcher and search for Google Chrome and launch... </p> ...problem solved! – DiGwork Jun 27 '14 at 13:07
deleting all files in /home/USERNAME/.config/google-chrome/ which forces Google Chrome to regenerate all configuration and profile files. You should be able to do this with a single command:
rm ~/.config/google-chrome/*
when i type this in the terminal i get this;
frank@frank-ThinkCentre-M71e:~$ sudo rm ~/.config/google-chrome/*
[sudo] password for frank:
rm: cannot remove ‘/home/frank/.config/google-chrome/Avatars’: Is a directory
rm: cannot remove ‘/home/frank/.config/google-chrome/Crash Reports’: Is a directory
rm: cannot remove ‘/home/frank/.config/google-chrome/Default’: Is a directory
