Here is a link to a knowledge base article on this problem and what to do about it. It's either a permissions issue, a full hard drive, or a corrupt encryption certificate and they are all fixable.

If nothing else works, then it's probebly trouble at the mill. One of the crossbeams gone out of skew on treadle.

That's one of the crossbeams gone out of skew on treadle.

Don't ask me. I didn't expect a sort of Spanish Inquisition.

It might be except for the fact that I’m a Commando.

PJ’s only count if they are of a DC or Marvel super hero variety with booties.

Cape is optional.

What version number?

==

Each version seems to have its own problems. Some will open/download PDFs, some won’t. Some will run Flash video, some won’t. Some extensions work, some don’t.

Firefox has become a mess.

On the last update, I had to wait about two months before

By then, your version was two versions behind. LOL

I don't think I use Tor. Probably do through StartPage though.

It isn’t Firefox.

It is Windows.

Which, although I am stuck with it, sucks.

Back to the business at hand. My apology for having strayed off topic. Have not had any further trouble after this a.m. But am running another type of browser. Ashamed to say which one but at the risk of ridicule will say is IE-9. Was not kidding about the hit this a.m. to virus protection though. That was a hard hit this a.m.

I’m a Conservative Right-Wing Reactionary in many, many ways.

(I’m still trying to warm up to this whole “round earth” thing.)

Unlikely.

I'm on a Mac.
