I have just upgraded to Firefox 8. I have 2 user accounts on my computer. Since the upgrade, only 1 user can access Firefox at a time. I am able to use IE on 1 and Firefox on the other. I have to close Firefox on 1 user before I can open it on the 2nd.

I have exact same issue. Using W7 desktop. Tried uninstallig/reinstalling...no help. Tried FF 9 Beta..no help. Went back to FF 7 and issue was corrected. Please advise. Thanks.

I also have gone back to V 7, which fixed the issue. I have stopped the automatic updates so the issue doesn't hapen again.
