One day while trying to run the firefox application a box popped up and said: "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with the 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." Ive tried everything and even deleted and then reinstalled firefox... We miss it!!
