I am the Administrator on my pc, and my children have limited accounts. I am using Firefox, I have no problem, but none of the children can get on, although they can get on Internet Explorer. Am I missing something?

    Have you shared Fire Fox in your admin settings.

    Just log on to each of their accounts and reinstall.

    You can do this, Log on as another member of family, click, Start,Run,Browse,
    find the Fire Fox program and click open then Ok. Do this for all users.

    You will have to make all accounts admin status from your log in screen
    first, then do the above, then return there accounts to Limited again.

    Log on under your kids profile. Open Firefox. Click Tools>Options>privacy......then click the clear button next to cache.

    Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you couldn't view webpages when it was open.

    I'd be tempted to try to uninstall through add/remove programs. Then reinstall Firefox.
