Is Problem with Localhost in Firefox
IIS uses Integrated Authentication and by default IE has the ability to use your windows user account...but don't worry, so does Firefox but you'll have to make a quick configuration change.
1) Open up Firefox and type in about:config as the url
2) In the Filter Type in ntlm
3) Double click "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris" and type in localhost and hit enter

https Problem In Firefox
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) lets you securely access web sites. Web sites that use SSL will have "https" at the start of their address. Most banking sites and online stores use SSL.
If Firefox can't access a secure site, it will show the error "Firefox cannot connect securely to www.example.com because the SSL protocol has been disabled.". This article will describe how to enable SSL in Firefox if you get this message.
If you additionally receive the message "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.", see Could not initialize the browser security component.
Check your SSL settings
At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, click on the ToolsFirefoxEdit menu, and select Options...Preferences....
Select the Advanced panel.
Click the Encryption tab.
Verify that Use SSL 3.0 and Use TLS 1.0 are check marked.
If both boxes are check marked, this section does not apply. You can skip to the next section.
If they are not, check mark both of them, and click OKclose the preferences window.
Try to access a secure site again. If it still doesn't work, continue in the next section.
Check your proxy settings
Some computers are configured to access the Internet through a proxy.
At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, click on the ToolsFirefoxEdit menu, and select Options...Preferences....

If Manual proxy configuration is selected, you are using a manually configured proxy server. Verify that all protocols listed in the dialog box are pointing to the address of your proxy server. Contact your network administrator if you don't know this address.

Make any changes, and click OKclose the preferences window.

Here is a list of mostly standard browser shortcut keys that you can use to speed navigation while surfing the web.
Pressing Backspace will take you to the previous document (just like clicking the back button on the toolbar).
Pressing Shift + Backspace moves you forward one document (equivalent to clicking the forward button).
F5 reloads a Web page and is the same as clicking the refresh button in the toolbar.
To print the current page, press Ctrl + P.
You can press the Home key to move to the top of a document, and you can press End to move to the bottom of the current document.
To open a new window, press Ctrl + N.

Google chrome’s “application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)” error have some temporary fixes.Google chrome (chrome.exe) did not work for me initially, and I got an error: “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005).Click on OK to terminate the application.”
If you faced “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005).Click on OK to terminate the application.” error with google chrome (chrome.exe) and you are using symantec, then you could try the following steps: * Back up the registry on an affected system * Open the registry on the Agent system by entering regedit from a run prompt * Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SysPlant * Open the Start DWORD * Change the value to 4 to disable the drivers * Reboot the system to commit the changes
The above registry solution to fix the Google chrome error was issued in symantec forums.Read it here. The other easier solution is to run Google Chrome with --no-sandbox (with two dashes before “no”). To run it with the above option, edit the property of the shortcut you use to launch Google chrome and add the above option at theend of the “target” line (after the path to the chrome exe) i.e. Right click your shortcut to “Google Chrome” and click Properties. In the target text field, add a space then add --no-sandbox (with two dashes before “no”) right after the ending quotation mark. Run using this shortcut.However make sure that there is a space in between the ending quotation mark and the --no-sandbox option that you add.You could find a shortcut to google chrome on your desktop.Also note that you should use two dashes before “no”.See the pic. below.
You are in effect loosing the sandbox effect of Google Chrome.
What is sandboxing in Google chrome?
Sandboxing is a special feature in Google chrome, to prevent malware from installing itself onto computer/PC.It also prevents what happens in one tab from affecting the other tabs i.e each tab runs as a seperate process and for each of these processes, all the rights have been stripped.
Hence, each of these processes are isolated and the websites/web applications you run via these processes can compute but they cannot write files to your hard drive or read files from sensitive areas like your documents or desktop.
From the above, it is clear that sandboxing has lots of goodness and one would not like to loose this feature of google chrome. However note that sandboxing is only an additional security feature in google
