FireFox...multiple email accounts in different windows?

goawayugh · 05-03-2007, 05:36 PM

I just started using FireFox less than 48 hrs ago (so far, I love it!). My only complaint so far is that with IE I could have several (say 3) windows open and be signed into each of my 3 different Yahoo email accounts in each different window. With FF, it will only let me sign into one account at a time. If I open a new window, I'm already signed in to the account I have up in the other window. Can this be changed?

EDIT: Or better yet, can this be done in different tabs in the same window?

Uncheck remember passwords for sites in options under security

I have already done that...didn't work.

In my other forum I'm always in, I hate it when people revive dead threads, but I'm still curious if this is possible.....anyone?

Try unchecking in Privacy ( Remember Visited Pages)

Nope, that didn't work either.

It is possible to do what you want. The reason it won't work at this point is because firefox is running one profile. You need to set up firefox to run two profiles at the same time and then it will work (or 3 profiles if you were checking 3 yahoo accounts simultaneously and so on...)

Here is how to do that.
Read intructions

Also, READ THIS from the Mozilla Firefox website about how to manage multiple profiles.

This Google search might help with more info.
