I've added a new user to my computer and there doesn't seem to be any firefox connected to it. Do I have to install firefox for the new user also?

I went to set up a separate user for my child and when I was finished there was no Firefox icon . All it showed was Explorer. Do I have to download Firefox for every user? Please help?

Sounds that you didn't create a Firefox desktop icon for each user in the All Users group (C:\Users\All Users\Desktop), but only for the current user. You can either create a desktop shortcut to start Firefox on the desktop of your child to the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" program or create that shortcut for all users in the "C:\Users\All Users\Desktop" folder.

If you also need a Start menu entry that place a shortcut here: 

"C:\Users\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox"
