Recently I upgraded the default installed firefox (FC5_64) firefox-1.5.0.1-9 to version 1.5.0.6-2 Suddenly I can not access any https site. Firefox gives an error: no PERSONAL SECURITY MANAGER installed. In the 'old' version in prefences-advanced-security devices is a lot of information BUT in the upgraded version the same page is EMPTY. How can I solve this problem ?

How did you do the upgrade?

Different ways: 1. Deleted the old version and downloaded the upgraded version from Fedora Extras. Problem detected.
2. Then I did an upgrade thru YUM. Problem still exists. It makes no difference if I delete the old package or not.

"Deleted" how?

rpm -e firefox !
Okay, just checking. :)
Yum should definitely have made this all work right, but apparently not. Do you have the newest nss package installed?

I did un upgrade of the nss packages and then an upgrade of firefox (NOT deleted the old version) and guess what: IT WORKED.
The latest firefox needs the latest version of nss. This dependency isn't stated by the RPM so yum couldn't resolve it or print a warning.
Yum would have done the right thing is you did "yum update" and upgraded everything that could have been upgraded.

It's probably a good idea to keep up with updated packages in general -- while the RPM dependencies are supposed to catch situations like this, sometimes there are problems which aren't caught because the expected situation is an updated-across-the-board system.

Whilst I agree, surely though this should also be flagged as a bug ? The new firefox should have its dependency on nss updated (or added).
I think there are perfectly valid reasons why someone might try "yum update firefox" and then get into a mess.

How did you resolve this ?
I just upgraded FC4 to FC6, and because of this, I cant do https, so I cant even file a bugzilla
