WS2008r2 with RDP Service. Users connect using HP Thin Clients. Grade Level accounts are being used for students (All 7th Grade students log on to shared account) FoxFire is loaded on the account and works great if one user is logged one, as soon as another user logs into account and opens Firefox the following message appears, (FireFox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window) and the FF session on User 1's computer closes and opens on User 2's. Is their a setting that allows more than one instance of FF to be open?

Is each user RDP'ing into a different Windows user account on the remote system? I haven't tried that before, so I didn't realize Firefox won't run in both accounts simultaneously.

There is a startup switch called -no-remote that might be helpful. It creates a new instance of Firefox. You may want to search around for advice on using it.
