could not initialize the application's security component .the most likely cause is problems with files in your application's probile directory.please check that this directory had no read/write restrictionsand ur 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 mightsee incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features....THIS IS THE ALERT I GET WHENEVER I TRY TO OPEN FIREFOX.
