I'm having trouble with Firefox . I keep getting this message at start up, and then if I continue I cant access secure sites - like my bank .

"Could not intialize the application's security component . The most probable cause is problems in your browsers profile file . Please check this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard drive is not full or close to full . It is recommended that you exit the browser and fix the problem . If you continue to use this browser seesion, you might see incorrect browser behaviour when accessing security features" .

I've updated to 3 . 6 - that didnt work . I've used an old backup version - that didn't work . My hard drive has 80% free space! That is 128Gb .



I don't know what this means, or what I can do to correct it .

Can you please help me solve this problem ? Only IE8 will work!!

Ray .

If that doesnt work, I would uninstall FF again then delete all of its folders as well. Then reinstall it again

Thanks, it worked. I deleted every folder and file as you adviced. Reinstalled Firefox 3.6 and it worked OK. I posted this problem on Firefox support but you were the first to respond.

Thanks again, Ray.
