However, for the past few months, I’ve been using a groovy Firefox extension called Multifox. The Firefox Add-on not only solves this common problem but it also simplifies things. Let’s take a look!
How To Open Multiple Gmail Accounts Using One Browser – Firefox
Step 1 – Install the Multifox Firefox Add-on
Download the extension from the Brazilian Mozilla developer site here: http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/ Click the “Install Extension” button to get started.
Step 2 – Install the Multifox Firefox Add-on
After you’ve Clicked Install, a pop-up will appear in the top-right corner of Firefox. Click Allow to continue installation.
Step 3 – Install the Multifox Firefox Add-on, Restart Firefox
A Software Installation dialog box will pop-up. Promptly Click Install Now. To finish installing the add-on, you will need to Restart Firefox.
Step 4 – Open Links in New Identity Profiles
Now when you want to open a Gmail (or ANY login site) as a different user without being forced to log out, just Right-Click any link and Select Open Link in New Identity Profile. A new window will appear, and it will have it’s own separate identity profile.
Done!
Any window that you open as a “New Identity Profile” will have a mark in the address bar to let you know what identity profile it is. I haven’t tested to see how many different profiles you can open but, I figure most people won’t need more than five. Note that #1 is your original Firefox window and not marked with a number in the address bar.
