Did you go to: Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder ?
yes, I have followed all instructions to my knowledge 100%. I have even tried to create a new profile and that did not solve this error message issue. I did the troubleshooting profile open containing folder locate cert8.db which was not in the list at all. I tried the create new profile options incase my current profile was corupt in any way. I even tried the troubleshooting open containing file anywhere in the backgrounf opp. click properties uncheck read only option apply that did not solve the issue either. I am at a loss. I really liked forefox but this is more trouble than what the browser is worth!!
note: tried installing google chrome since Firefox keeps giving me this error message an now google chrome will not install because it says it has a missing file exe or something. I don't know whats goin on but no browsers will install for some reason.
