On the installation of Firefox security alert - can't fix
During the installation, I get this alert
"Could not initialize component of application security. The most likely cause is problems with the files in the directory of the profile of your application. Please check that this directory has no restriction of read/write and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and correct the problem. If you continue to use this session, you may see incorrect application behavior when you access security features. I tried to check the directory and I can say that nothing is defined as read-only - if I'm a new MAC users, so not an expert. »
Not a MAC expert, although I checked all files in what I think is the right directory, none were read-only. Had an old version of FireFox installed at some point given, but deleted from the application directory.
Any suggestions?
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file
Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the Firefox profile folder in case there is a problem with the file.
You may need to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.
Firefox will create new files.
The cert8.db file stores the user certificate and intermediate certificates sent by Web sites, so if you have certificates you want to keep, then you can now export and import after removing cert8.db.
See:
- Tools > Options > advanced > encryption: certificates: display certificates
If it works, then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process.

Everything works like before Facebook, but when I go to the "messages" option, the messages are not displayed (but works fine in Explorer).
I haven't added the new plug-ins or add-ons.
Everything worked without problem, before I've upgraded to Firefox 5. Other Firefox users, I contacted do not seem to have this problem, so I guess that's maybe a setting, although I made no change.
The problem seems to have resolved itself on my end, so I think the problem was in the stage of Facebook after all.
I noticed there is a day that refine Ghostery (anti-complement web monitoring) that the release of certain elements would make the messages section should upward. This does not explain why it suddenly worked fine today (I've changed my settings back to how they were before the problems started), but if you have any kind of add-on or ad-blocking program, it's worth a shot.

Your Blog Office page contains many links that are specific to Tablet pages. Once a visitor to the site following one of these links from that moment they will be blocking tablet look a mode for the site in their browser until they follow a link that specifically goes back from the page of the tablet to a page of office (or they delete cookies, because a cookie is used to store the device locking).
Fix the links on your Blog Office page to point to the office pages and site visitors is no longer going to be misdirected to your layouts of the tablet. You can also consider adding the link at the bottom of your home page to allow a site visitor to switch between layouts, if the default layout for their device is not adapted to their needs (Site Office and Tablet Site links on the mobile home page, Tablet and phone links on the desktop homepage and links office and phone on the homepage of Tablet).

My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?
In fact, it can be easier...
If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:
E:\Users\username
Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:
\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.
If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.
To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer

Precautions Cryptolocker are blocking the installation of firefox

Declared unauthorized zones are:

Think I came up with my own solution:
- Download the full package from here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
- Create a new folder for me it's Firefox 25 install files
- Open the installer downloaded complete with 7-zip (right click on the file archive opened or 7-Zip in the menu open archive and navigate to where you downloaded the file to open it)
- Extract setup.exe and "Core" file above record made in step 2 (for example Firefox 25 install files)
- Then run setup.exe from the installation of FireFox 25 files.
While I understood this point, someone else in my situation can not find this message or understand it, but it's a method dirty to realize the installation.

Since the installation of Firefox 8, when I type anything in the address bar and then press "enter" or click on the arrow for "go to the address in the address bar", nothing happens! Similarly if a place is indicated by the location bar AutoComplete feature. I hit "enter" or click the "go to" and nothing happens. " Keyboard shortcuts to "complete the .com, .net, etc. addresses" doesn't work or the other. The address bar has worked well for entering web addresses before Firefox 8. Help, please.
Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).- You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.
http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themesWhen find you what is causing that, please let us know. It might help others who have this problem.

Firefox opens, but this morning, I can't access all the links via Firefox. I can through Explorer.
One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

1. when exactly you get invites him to install SpareBackup.msi?
Method 1:
I recommend you perform the clean boot that this issue could be caused by some third party software.
Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note:
After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.
Method 2:
You can also download and run a full scan of the system using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if the problem is caused by a Virus/Malware.
