Description of problem: On startup of firefox I get UNABLE TO INIT SECURITY COMPONENT (similar wording). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): installed nss version is nss-3.11.5-2.fc7 How reproducible: You'd need the *.db files that live in my firefox profile directory. This machine is used rarely only. It lives on my separate Fedora Rawhide testing hardware, which I update often to latest rawhide, but only occasionally work at. With my particular files, starting firefox is sufficient to reproduce. I tracked the problem down to the secmod.db file. If I move secmod.db away, Firefox starts up fine. Actual results: Firefo starts up with error message, https does NOT work. Expected results: Firefox starts up and https works. Additional info: After having started firefox with the bad secmod.db, the security device manager gives a weird display. Maybe that's expected, as NSS init did not succeed. But I'll attach a screen shot. Shall I send the secmod.db file?
