    GNome, FireFox, and Concurrent Logins

    I am running an LTSP with SUSE 10.1. My problem is that i can not get multiple instances of firefox running on different terminals using the same user login. I can only have firefox running on one terminal. In fact, it does this with all applications. I get a system message that tells me an instance of that application is already running. Is there any way to allow multiple instances of an application to run, while using the same user login on multiple terminals?

    Thank You,
    Seabass1

    If one instance of firefox is running in responding mode then you can use that to open new windows. I told this because I see no reason why two sepearte threads should be started when the same is achievable via one thread. In case firefox is not responding you can try this as root/superuser
    Code:
    killall -9 firefox
    "There is no sixth rule"
    --Rob Pike
