Hello, 

I'm having some problem on my Mozilla Firefox  I uninstall & reboot & again install the firefox but its again showing the following Alert Error & not opening any Website.

Please check what is this ?


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

Please notify me on ssmmurtaza@hotmail.com
