Is there a way to prevent Firefox being opened a second time?

A somewhat older friend of mine keeps opening firefox multiple times. Often over 40 sessions are running, slowing the PC down to almost zero response. Is there a way to prevent this?

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

Thanks for the suggestion FredMcD, but unfortunately I haven't found a solution in the Add-Ons.

So why are you letting them do this? Are they using the limited account? You can place restrictions on what it can do. If they are doing this they aren't a friend. They should get their own computer before they do damage to yours.
