The following comments appear on my screen when I go to a website.


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.

I would really appreciate your help.

hello denny65, security in firefox won't secure your system but it will encrypt the connection between your computer and the websites you're accessing (to protect you from eavesdropping, manipulation and other things you don't want to happen for netbanking or other sensitive applications). please go through the link provided by cor-el above.
