I get this error below when I open firefox. Help please

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

Well, unless somebody else has a better suggestion, the easiest thing to do to save you a lot of time troubleshooting would be to uninstall/reinstall Firefox. These are the steps to follow to ensure a clean installation:
#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0] and download a fresh installation file to the desktop.
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
#Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded.
#After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those if necessary.
Adobe issued a [http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html Zero Day security warning] for Flash, Acrobar Reader etc., the other day, so expect a patch for those to be released shortly.

    I get this message when I open Firefox and when I go between tabs.
    TypeError: PC_PREF_OBJ is undefined
    I have tried to re-install, but that doesn't help.

    If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].
    Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in [[Safe Mode]], then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem.

    I am getting this message when I open Safari.  How do I make it go away?
    Thanks, Ed Williams

    To Remove plug-in
    1.) Open the SplashID desktop app
    2.) Navigate from Menu bar "File" -> "Plugin for Safari" -> "Uninstall".
    I could not find it in either Library/Internet Plug-ins nor ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins as others have suggested.
    Cheers!

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 installed?
    How far into the opening of the program do you get? Do you get to the Expert or Quick workspaces?
    And, if so, how long can you stay there? What are you doing when you get this message, opening a new project
    or opening an existing one that has been saved/closed or just trying to launch the program from the desktop icon.
    Are you running the program Run As Administrator and from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    Do you have the McAfee antivirus program? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer
    with Premiere Elements 12?
    What video card/graphics card does your computer use? Have you verified at the web site of the manufacturer of the
    card that the video card/graphics card driver is up to date?
    If you do not know, check the Device Manager/Display
    Adapters to determine if you have 1 or 2 cards.
    Depending on your answers, the next step will be
    Uninstall the program the usual Control Panel way.
    (If you can get into the program long enough to go to Help Menu/Sign Out, please do that to deactivate the program
    before going to the uninstall in Control Panel area.)
    Do a run through with ccleaner (both the regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) to get rid of leftovers from
    incomplete uninstalls and reinstalls.
    https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
    Reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewalls disabled.
    (If you have McAfee as the antivirus, that may be problem, and we can take care of that without having to go
    through this uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall.)
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • I get an error message when I open Firefox.

    When opening Firefox, this message appears: getPlusPlus_Adobe_reg.exe - Application Error. The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". This may be a reason why I can't download Adobe Flash Player, and perhaps for some other problems I may not be aware of.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a few days ago. Not sure why.

    Get rid of Adobe DLM (Download Manager, aka getPlus). It causes problems for a lot of users and you do NOT NEED IT. Right now it is showing in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions. It is also showing as a plugin, getplusplusadobe16263, in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins. Here's how to get rid of it, hopefully: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-08.html
    When you go to an Adobe page that gives you a warning and an "Allow" button just below the tabs, if you click that "Allow" button it will download the Adobe DLM and not the product you were trying to download. Adobe DLM is then supposed to download the product. But it just doesn't work, every time, the way it is supposed to.
    When you need to update an Adobe product, post back here for detailed instructions and ask how to do so with getting Adobe DLM.
    Right now you are current on Adobe Flash (aka Shockwave Flash) and Adobe Reader (aka Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox). You can check them here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    <u>'''''Other Issues'''''</u>: ~~red:You have installed plug-ins with known security issues. You should update them immediately.~~
    <u>'''Update Java'''</u>: your ver. 1.6.0.01; current ver. 1.6.0.20 (<u>important security update 04-15-2010</u>)
    (~~red:Firefox 3.6 and above requires Java 1.6.0.10 or higher~~; see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Java-related+issues#Java_does_not_work_in_Firefox_3_6 )

    Do the update with Firefox closed.

  • I keep getting this error message when I open iPhoto '11

    A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported. Would you like to import it? No matter what I do, Yes or No, it still pops up at launch and keeps creating Recovered Image Folders without images in them. Any ideas how to find these 2 files that have not been imported or at least how to get rid of the error message?

    My folder called "Auto Import" instead of "Import"
    I did what you mention above and I works perfectly!

  • I am getting an error message when I open Firefox 5 (Win.Vista) "TypeError:Components.classes[cid] is undefined." How can I get rid of this? Thank you.

    Only started since the upgrade. Windows Vista Home 32 bit.
    The error message reads:
    "TypeError:Components.classes[cid] is undefined."

    Try the suggested idea above. I just disabled all the add-ons which were not compatible with FF 5 and did a FF restart. That fixed the problem. I then enabled each one, one at a time, with a FF restart until the problem came back. I then disabled that add-on.

    See [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]], the image shown in that article is the Windows equivalent of the error message that you are receiving, but the information relates to the Mac.

    Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
    Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
    so if you have html://somesite.edu,
    change it to http://somesite.edu.

  • Error Message regarding Facetime: I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

    I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

    The Beta version of Facetime is a free test/trial version that Apple placed on some computers in the past.  It has expired -- to get a working Facetime version back you must go to the App store and purchase "Facetime for Mac" which will cost you 99 cents.

    It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

    Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
    This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.
