Could not bring up Firefox even after reinstalled the application. Still get "Could not initialize security componets" msg
I initial received the msg that Firefox is still running in the background and won't open. I check the Task Mgr and Firefox was not running. My storage is only 50% utilized. I finally reinstall Firefox and the new msg "Could not initialize the application security component......." come up. I tried rename the cert8 and the secmod files but still receiving the same "Could not.........." msg. Please help and thanks for your time.

Sorry. I forgot to indicated that I am running Window 7.
Try to rename the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.
If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file. Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates. Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
