updated to 27.0.1. Since then when one user is logged on, the other user cannot open firefox and vice versa. IE opens and runs fine

Are both users using the same Firefox profile folder?

See:

You can add -no-remote to the command line to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and run multiple Firefox instances simultaneously.

Sorry, I dont know. I had no problems until Firefox suggested an upgrade. My W7 system runs with 2 users, after upgrading I noticed that Firefox wouldnt start unless I did a PC full restart. I later realised that restarting logged both users off, so Firefox would start OK until another user logged in. How can I tell if we are using the same profile and does it even matter? Thanks
