We're running Windows XP 5.1 SP3 with two user accounts. After upgrading to Firefox 8.0, Firefox will no longer load web pages for the second user when the first user is logged in and running Firefox. (We typically use "Switch User" as opposed to logging out when taking turns at the computer.)

You may have security software that blocks access to specific files as soon as one instance has been started and thus prevents starting another Firefox instance for a different Windows account.

I guess that was a possibility I gave up on version 8 I uninstalled it, googled version 7 and installed that and now it runs fine when I switch user to user Thanks for the help I'll take it into consideration if I update again
