Get this alert when I try to open new version Firefox I just downloaded. I trashed the old version and re-downloaded and installed new version. Alert meaage: 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.

Thank you. This did the job. Had a corrupted cert8.db file.
