Hello,

I'm running Firefox on a Terminal Server 2008 R2 where Firefox installed is on the D: disk. Users Appdata is redirected to a network share (user profile) When one user starts firefox, it keeps Connecting, nothing shows up. I also can't close firefox. I have to use ALT+F4 or Taskmanager The user has access to the Appdata folder and subfolder Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. When i delete or rename Firefox folder, and start Firefox, i'm getting a new profile. Then firefox works fine. But, when i close firefox, and open it again, i'm having the same problems. It hangs on Connect.

Again, i delete the profile folder, open Firefox, firefox works fine. Close it, and reopen it, its broken again...

Is there a way to solve this problem? I have started Firefox with -P to change the location of the profile, no luck.

Thanks in advance!

hi, does it make a difference when you disable the disk cache (set browser.cache.disk.enable to false in about:config)?

I have just tried that, but nothing. Firefox keeps hanging on Connecting.

The user has logged off his Remote Desktop session and i've logged on with his account and it works now. Maybe i had to logg off en on after the browser.cache.disk.enable false change..

I have asked the user to test it on monday with his own thin client.

Thanks for the support!
