Details

(Whiteboard: [kerh-noi]) 

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050910 Firefox/1.6a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050910 Firefox/1.6a1

When I compile firefox and thunderbird from CVS HEAD, on startup, both display a
dialog with the following text:
"Could not initialize the browser's security component. The most likely cause is
problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this
directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk 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 behavior
when accessing security features."
After clicking okay, the application starts as usual. However, Firefox cannot go
to any HTTPS sites, and Thunderbird cannot connect to encrypted services.
This only happens with CVS builds, and only within the past two weeks or so
(Sorry, I don't know the exact date!). Source builds of Thunderbird 1.0.6 run fine.
Deleting the profile directory doesn't help, as is suggested by other bugs that
reference this dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compile Firefox or Thunderbird from CVS
2.Run the application

Actual Results:  
The aforementioned dialog appeared, and all SSL functionality was disabled.

Expected Results:  
The application should work as usual.

I run Gentoo Linux 2005.1 on x86. I run the unstable branch, and even some
hardmasked packages. I'm not sure if any of this will be relevant in finding
with the problem is here, but I can post anything about anything I'm running if
someone just asks.
I recompiled with "--enable-debug". Here's the console output of running
firefox, click OK on the browser's security component dialog, then closing
firefox (no pages loaded, no menus clicked):
No Persistent Registry Found.

Could you recompile with "--enable-crypto"?  "--enable-crypto"
should be the default now, but let's specify that explicitly to
be sure.

Alternatively, could you see if you have libnss3.so and libssl3.so
in your build tree?

It is already compiled with "--enabled-crypto".

libnss3.so and libssl3.so both exist in the firefox directory. Is that what you
mean by the build directory, or do you want me to look elsewere? Thanks!
Craig: yes, that's what I meant by the "build tree".  So
you correctly built Firefox and Thunderbird with crypto
enabled.  I don't know why the crypto components can't be
initialized at run time.

I have now confirmed this bug with two other people. A friend of mine on two of
his Gentoo computers gets the same message, and another person from the Gentoo
Forums gets the message as well.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-378995-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-75.html
Can someone refer this bug to a firefox or thunderbird developer? I'm very eager
to work out a solution to this bug.
It may not be the problem but this line is not good:
--enable-extensions=all,-venkman,gnomevfs

Several of the items in MOZ_EXTENSIONS_ALL conflict with Firefox, for eg
typeaheadfind. http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/configure#12496

Default list for Firefox is:
cookie xml-rpc xmlextras pref transformiix universalchardet webservices
inspector gnomevfs auth permissions reporter
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/configure#12582

And the correct syntax for adding extras (caution!!!) is
--enable-extensions=default,irc
I'm having the same problem as craig already mentioned, and here are the
configure options, which ./configure reports:
  --enable-application=browser
  --enable-optimize=-O2
  --enable-old-abi-compat-wrappers
  --with-pthreads
  --disable-installer
  --disable-pedantic
  --enable-crypto
  --with-system-jpeg
  --with-system-png
  --with-system-zlib
  --without-system-nspr
  --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2
  --enable-ipv6
  --disable-xinerama

if this matters. I know that typeahead is not supported and I'll try to build it
without it and venkman.
The other strange thing is that yesterday or the day before yesterday, after a
fresh build (after pulling head), it started just normal without any messages,
but I did not test the ssl, because I thought at first that it is fixed on head.
The next start has simply shown the aforementioned message about the security
component and there is no ssl-support. Moreover selecting
Preferences|Advanced|Security|Verification crashes firefox.

This bug is not a duplicate of bug 320497.  A necessary
condition for bug 320497 is that the build is a 64-bit
binary for x86_64.  That condition is not true for
this bug (in comment 0, the bug submitter said
"I run Gentoo Linux 2005.1 on x86.").

Comment 8 - comment 12 and comment 14 - comment 15
should be ignored for this bug.  They were only in
this bug because bug 327595 was incorrectly marked
as a duplicate of this bug.  I also changed the
summary back.  There is no evidence that this bug
has to do with SELINUX=enforcing.

Craig, as explained in bug 320497 the fix has landed on the NSS 3.11 branch, but is not yet used by mozilla.

As you are building CVS HEAD yourself, could you try the following to verify it fixes your problem?

Edit mozilla/client.mk
Search for
  NSS_CO_TAG           = NSS_CLIENT_TAG
Change that temporarily to
  NSS_CO_TAG           = NSS_3_11_BRANCH

Do a "make clean" in mozilla/security/manager
Now pull from CVS and build.

Thanks for trying.

The original bug reporter is Craig <candrews@compucrafters.com>.

In comment 8, timeless (incorrectly) marked Bryan Taylor's
bug 327595 as a duplicate of this bug.  This is why Bryan Taylor
added comments (comment 10 and comment 11) about his bug to this
bug.  His comments led to more comments by caillon, Nelson, and
Kai about his bug.

But, if you search for "64" in this bug, you will see that the
first mention of "x86-64", "x86_64", "AMD64", "EM64T", "x64",
"64-bit", "64bit", or "64 bit" is in comment 9.  In comment 0 -
comment 7, there is no evidence that Craig was running a 64-bit
build for x86_64.  On the other hand, there are three evidences
that Craig was running a 32-bit build for x86.
- Craig's user agent string in comment 0 says "Linux i686".
- In comment 0, Craig says "I run Gentoo Linux 2005.1 on x86."
- In comment 7, Gergan Penkov's mozilla-config.h file does NOT
  have "#define HAVE_64BIT_OS 1".
I agree with Wan-Teh Chang that my original bug (bug 327595) should not have be merged with this one. Please disregard my comments here - SELINUX and x86_64 are relevent to my issue and not necessarily to Craig's original one. 

Sorry for the confusion.

Per comments 16 and 19, I'm marking the confused and misleading comments 
in this bug (including my own) as "private", not because they need to be 
kept secret, but because they're merely confused and misleading.

This bug is in state "need more info from Craig the bug reporter".

Craig, at the time when I wrote comment 18, in order to test my suspicion, you would have had to build Mozilla yourself.

However, by now the latest nightly development builds are using the NSS 3.11.x version that includes the fix for bug 320497.

Are you still able to reproduce?

Additional  piece of info:
I encounter this bug when doing online banking. When going to the banks or credit-card company's hoe page and clicking the link to the login page, the message pops up.
When copyomg the login page's url  (the first https://* page from this session), the quittig the browser ,  then reopening the browser, the access to the login page as the first page in this session works fine. During this session all other (usually failing https accesses using the relevant links on non-https pages) will work  fine. 
Seems like somethin is faulty when accessing https page using the link on  non-https one. Typing the https page directly into url field manages to load all security components.
All other remedies (permissions are ok, diskspace too, removinf cert8.db) for the problem didnt work (new profile  worked at first access, but I didn't test it further).
