Log in with two accounts (e.g., in Gmail) in a single Firefox window
I have two Gmail accounts.
I'd like to log in to both of them at the same time in a single Firefox window.
How would I go about it?
I know one suggestion is IETab, but that fix has too much of a duct tape feel to it.
There are some other questions covering this, but not necessarily within the same Firefox window:

- Firefox: Using multiple instances with different profiles?
- How to open multiple firefox windows with distinct sessions? [closed]
Solution 1:
Gmail now supports using multiple accounts simultaneously on the same browser.
Solution 2:
Also, if you are just checking mail. You can use one gmail account to check the mail of another http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=21288
Solution 3:
Mashable has "5 Ways To Log Into Several Gmail Accounts At The Same Time":
- Multiple browsers
- Master account to which you forward all other accounts
- IE Tab (Windows only; basically an additional browser within one window)
- Gmail Manager
- Google Account Multi-Login (Greasemonkey script)
For Internet Explorer 8 users :
start Internet Explorer with -NOMERGE argument
iexplore.exe -nomerge
then each instance started will run in a isolated session environment so you can open another Gmail account or any other web service.
