Firefox will not run for mulitple instances of the SAME user account on Windows Multipoint Server 2011

We have an HP MS6200 MulitSeat PC
It is running Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 (which appears to be a tweaked version of Windows 7)
It is set up in a computer lab, and students log in using their shared room account - ie multiple instances of the same user accounts are running on the PC at the same time.
The first student to run Firefox can work with it without problem.
However when another student tries to start firefox they get the following message:
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I managed to get this to work by using:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profile "%temp%\ffprof" -no-remote
This works because Windows assigns a different temp location for each instance of a user
Thanks for your help

  • Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

    I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
    I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

    The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
    Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
    Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
    Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?
    Is Adobe Flash Player v15.0.0.189 (or higher) installed on her computer?

  • After refomatting HDD, reinstalling Vista plus service packs, recovering files from Microsoft backup and installing new copy of Firefox 3.6, Firefox will not run. Have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.

    After computer would not boot and could not be repaired, I reformatted the HDD, reinstalled Vista plus all service packs and updates, recovered files from Microsoft backup and installed new copy of Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not run.
    I have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.
    After intallation was completed, the automatic startup just placed a small box on the screen "Import wiz". This just sat there with no activity. After I closed this box, none of the Firefox start buttons would open the program -- just the blue rotating icon for about 2 seconds then nothing.

  • My Firefox will not search for websites

    My Firefox will not search for websites etc. I put in a parameter and it will not do anything. When I use anything else (such as Yahoo! search) it works fine. I type in a word/website/name etc. into the search box on Firefox and nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and still it won't work.

    A few notes for the morning:
    (1) If you used the Reset Firefox feature, a folder will have appeared on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. Please retain that folder so you can revert your Reset if needed.
    (2) I don't know why you would intentionally open the IP addresses of servers that have demonstrated their untrustworthiness by relaying spam to you. If you want to find out who controls a server, you can look it up on one of the regional registries for IP addresses:
    * RIPE (for Europe): http://www.ripe.net/ (RIPE Database search box mid-page)
    * ARIN (for North America): https://www.arin.net/ (Search WHOIS upper right)

    is it possible to run 2 weblogic instance in the same machine ?
    I have created 2 domains ...domain-1 and domain-2 in my hard disk and both of them have startWeblogic.cmd in them..
    but i cant run them simultaneously though individually they run.
    they differ by HTTP port and Debug port but still they dont run simultaneously
    can you please comment ?

    yea...i thought about it .
    but as both of them are same application and they are using the same DB connection pool , JMS queue ....i just dont want to mix all these.
    so i have created two seperate domian . and i run them individually and they work fine.
    However , they are having different ports though .
    But when i run the second one while the first one is running ....the second one does not starts up

  • Can I use the same user accounts for both Lion & SL?

    I have one Mac that I can upgrade to Lion but it is the one that the entire family uses every day (I only can use it (and administer it) on weekends), so I have to make sure that there are no problems and no issues so my plan is to:
    Move all of the users accounts to a different drive.
    Configure 10.6.8 (SL) to use the user accounts on the different drive.
    Back up SL to a bootable drive.
    Repartition the Mac for a SL & Lion partition.
    Reconstitute SL on both partitions.
    Upgrade one SL partition to Lion.
    I should now have a partition for SL and Lion that both use the same users accounts so when I (and then my family) are comfortable with Lion, the switch will be transparent.
    Any problems that I am unaware of (and how to remediate it)?
    TIA.

    There are a few discussions here on the topic that I was planning to employ:
    Moving Home folder to different HDD From Mac OSX Snow Leopard via Terminal?
    Moving some Users to different volume
    How do you move a user account to a different drive?
    Another way of doing it is to move the directory, and then alter the user's home directory using the NetInfo utility (Tiger) or Directory Utility (Leopard). In both, you can change the user's home directory from the command line in Terminal.app like so:
    $ sudo dscl . -create /Users/user NFSHomeDirectory /Volumes/volname+/+user
    In the SL System Preferences -> Accounts one can select a user's account, right click and choose Advance Options presents the screen below. This is how I intend to point each OS to the same user account on an external HDD.
    Does that answer your question?
    TIA.

  • I have multiple apple devices mainly used between me and my wife , my question is that can i have two sets of contacts backed up to icloud one for her devices and one for my devices using the same itunes account

    i have two sets of devices one ipad, iphone and mac which i use and one iphone ipad and mac which my wife uses
    now is it possible to have two sets of contacts and calendar synchronised for her devices and one for my devices using the same icloud account
    i dont want a separate itunes account as we use the same music books and apps to be automatically downloaded which is very convenient
    please guide

    You can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device).  There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.

  • Firefox will not run except on new download.

    Firefox will not start under any circumstance from any shortcut, nor when started under Administrator or in safe-mode or with all apps disabled. It will start after a new download but only once. I cannot access profile manager from start/run, each time I get a 'Parsing error' message. I have tried basic removing and also removing complete with all profile details. I have performed re-starts after deletion and before and after re-installing. I have tried backdating the computer many times to different dates and the best result is an 'XML error' message on re-start attempt. Internet Explorer still works but frequently with 'Error on page' message. I have Mcafee installed but have had for years with no previous problems.

  • I have recently purchased finale 2011, and it installs, but will not run?  Any idea what the problem is?

    I have recently purchased the finale 2011 music program, and it installs without any problems, but will not run when I try to start up the program.  It acts like it is going to start, but stops when loading the plugins.  I have been talking with Finale tech support for three days, and they are coming up empty, but they are still trying.  Any ideas what the problem might be?
    Thanks,
    John

    Try booting in Safe Mode (hold the shift key while booting until the grey progress bar appears).
    If you're able to log-in, then re-boot and log-in

  • Best practice for multiple instances of the same BEX query

    Hi there,
    I'm wondering what's the best way to use multiple instances of the same BEX query. Let me explain what I mean:
    I have a dashboard with different queries feeding different period of time such as: week to date, month to date and so on. One query for each since it is based on a user exit.
    For each query I want to show different data in different sections of my dashboard. Per example: sales per directors or sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week and the like.I tried to connect a simple bar chart via a direct connection but with no success due to the multiple lines generated by the addition of the sales director, customer group, week number and so on.
    My question is about the way to connect the different queries efficiently in order to show the different data while avoiding multiple useless lines.
    The image above shows the query browser where, per example, for a Month to date query there will be mutiple line for each week as well as one line for each director. If, for two different components, I want to show data per week and data per director or other representation what is the best practice:
    Add another instance of the same query and only put the week information and another one will only the director info?
    Should I bind those to the excel file and use formulas to make final calculations?
    Will there be a performance issues for adding different instances of the same query
    I have 6 different queries (read 6 user exit that filters time via user exit).
    Depending on the best practices there might be 4 instances for each for a total of 24 instances in the query browser.
    I hope my question is clear enough, if not please do not hesitate I'll clarify as much as possible.
    Regards,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
    You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
    Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
    Hope this Helps!!!
    Sorry if i misunderstood your question.
