Solved: Alert when I launch Mozilla
I am transferring data from my old laptop to new one (Dell D430 running Windows XP Pro). I transferred across bookmarks for Mozilla and they now work, but I get an Alert every time I open Mozilla: "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". What have I done and how do I fix this? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Mozillla but the Alert still appears. I transferred the bookmarks by copying the content of the xxxxxxxx.default file from Application Data>Mozilla>Firefox>Profiles.
