Security error on ff launch. can not open https sites.

I have to use IE to see most of my sites. When I launch Fire Fox, an error pops up. "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 checked the profile file settings, windows and webroot firewall and security settings, rebooted several times. Keep getting the same launch error.
I checked and both SSL3.0 and TLS1.0 are selected for use. In spite of that this is what displays when I try to access a https site.
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to personal.vanguard.com.
Can't connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled.
(Error code: ssl_error_ssl_disabled)
* The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
* Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
This problem is not happening with IE.
In addition to the above, I read the article about SSL and FF needing to connect to itself. My firewall is not on the list (Webroot) however I found the permission screen of my firewall and verified that FF is allowed through and is a parent application.

You also need to allow the loopback connection that Firefox uses to communicate with the Software Security Device.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
Rename or delete secmod.db (secmod.db.old) and possibly cert8.db (cert8.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with those files.
The file cert8.db stores your user certificates, so if you have user certificates then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.
See Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: View Certificates
If that works then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process.

  • Help! pagecentent.setAttributes, IE can not open the site

    Hi there,
    I have some scriplets in my jsp file.
    I the scriplets I used pagecontent.setAttribute("varname", varvalue) so that i can use varname in my jstl code.
    My jsp file is about getting some image file and print its string format.
    I run the url and it works at first, but after load the page several times, I got the error messge:
    Internet Explore can not open the site http://....
    I click refresh, sometime it works, some time not. The more times I load the page, the more often the error shows up.
    Does anybody have any ideas about this error?
    Does mix scriplet var with jstl var often cause problem?
    Thanks a lot.

    i think you might have to give a bit more detail...its easy to mark this as a IE configuration problem the way you have it....caching? does it behave differently if you 'click refresh' or hit F5? seems stupid but F5 always does a true page refresh. links and the refresh button seem to grab from cache even when they're not supposed to. i've also dealt with annoying proxy servers that ignore the response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); directive.
    i apologize if i'm on the wrong track, but any sort of java errors would usually show up in a log or something...see if you can find that to debug any syntax problems.

  • After updating my MacBook Pro to yeosemite I want my old screen saver picture back. I did a full back up before the install. I found the "Settings" folder in Time machine but when I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can not open this

    After updating my MacBook Pro to yeosemite I want my old desktop picture back. I did a full back up before the install. I found the "Settings" folder in Time machine but when I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can not open this folder. It is in TimeMachine".

    Can you browse the Time Machine drive from Finder?
    If you can and you know where the picture was stored ie on your desktop you can browse through the folder structure to the picture copy it and paste it somewhere on your new install before right clicking it and 'set as desktop background'

    I can no longer open excel documents in my doc to go app. Error message simple reads can not open attachment. And the attachment is now a winmail.dat

    winmail.dat files usually mean the email has been sent in rich text format - you could either the person who sent it to send it in a different format e.g. plain text or HTML, or there are a few apps in the store that support it (search for winmail.date in the store).

  • I can not open different sites after installing itunes. Why?

    I can not open different sites after installing itunes. I can`t open google.com or youtube.com. Why?

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff: What version of iPhoto. What version of the Operating System. Details. What were you doing when the problem arose? Did it ever work properly? Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? What happens when you try to do this thing? And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that a helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • Can not open Preview site in brouser

    Everything was fine, but now can not open a preview site in browser. I do not know what happened. The browser opens Preview site in brouser http://192.168.0.102:33333/Preview/sitename/index.html but nothing show, is infinite loading. Please help me

    the address bar can be removed. You can just add the share point to your favorites or try updating your IE to the latest 11 version. Also you can try to clear the browser cache, cookies, etc. Try adding

  • Can not open existing sites in iWeb 09

    I can't open sites that I built in iWeb 09 after my hard drive has been reformatted, I can only open new.

    if you were using time machine or any other backup system you should be able to recover a copy of the domain file.
    All your iweb work is in the domain file, if that isn't frequently backed up, you lose your edited work. Your published site should still be fine but if you republish iWeb now it will overwrite your published site and it will be gone as well.
    By default, the "domain" file is in your user/library/application support/iWeb folder.
    You will have to start over if you want to make changes to your published site. If you have to redevelop your site, publish to a local folder until you get it the way you want it, because when you publish to your server it will overwrite your existing site. in the future keep your domain file frequently backed up and keep copies somewhere other than your hard drive.
    Hopefully you were using time machine, if not I feel your pain.
    Sincerely, David

  • Safari Will Not Open Https sites

    Safari will not open any https sites. When attempted, I get the following type of error:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/. . . . . . . . because it could not connect to the server “support.apple.com”.
    The problem started happening about three weeks ago, probably after one of Apple's updates. I can log on to the same https sites using any other browser. The problem also exists no matter what user I am logged into, including root.
    I have emptied the cache, reset Safari, repaired permissions, repaired the disk using Disk utlility, run ToolTech Pro on the drive, tossed preferences, tossed various keychange files, but nothing solves the problem. There are other posts claiming to have the same problem, but the suggested fix does not work for me.
    Any tips would be appreciated.
    Power Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I also had this problem and solved it. I use Little
    Snitch which establishes rules for blocking ports to
    see when applications phone home. For Safari I
    accidently blocked port 443 which is SSL or https.
    Check to see that you have not blocked this port
    through a firewall setting. Of course if this were a
    firewall setting all browsers would not be able to
    access https websites.
    ****, I thought I thought of everything, but I completely failed to consider Little Snitch, as I could never see myself accidently denying Safari connections. However, apparently I did just that. Thank you, you win the prize.
