Same reporter reported the duplicate - Importing comment with additional info:

--
"Under secondary logon (XP's fast user switching) mozilla can't open any window
(browser, mail/news) if installation was done under another login.
Mozilla's process remains in memory but not answers until killing.
Also bookmark sidebar do not shows under secondary logon ("not ready yet").

This problem appears from 1.2x version of mozilla, but versions 1.0 and 1.1
works fine."

Alexey, are you still experiencing this problem using Mozilla 1.3b or later?

Comment 4

[Alexey Pavlov]

No, this problem disappears.

Works fine under "fast user switching" with several (per user) copies of Mozilla
in same time.
