I have 2 different e-mail addresses with 2 different passwords. Firefox will only remember ONE password at a time. If I log into "A", I will have to re-enter password "B", when I go there. If I log off of "A" and then re-enter "A" (without first going into "B"), Firefox remembers the password, as it should ....

THANK YOU for the info! I downloaded your suggestion, but HOW do I apply it ???
There are other things that need your attention.
Please Update to the latest Firefox 16.0.x version.

The Firefox Firefox/11.0 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.
It is important to update Firefox and add-ons to the latest versions to get the latest bug fixes and security updates.

Getting Started
Multifox creates commands in context menus of links and bookmarks (Open in a New Identity Profile) and in File menu (New Identity Profile).
Select the command. A new window will open. Your logins in this window are independent of other Firefox windows.

Firefox says I am current with 11. Won't update ....
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version of the Firefox installer.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Firefox 16.0.2 installed OK - thank you! I don't mean to come across like a box of rocks, but I just don't understand "Getting Started Multifox creates commands in context menus of links and bookmarks (Open in a New Identity Profile) and in File menu (New Identity Profile). Select the command"" ..."
I've installed the extension and see a "New Identity Profile" (Ctrl+Alt+M) in the Firefox > New Tab menu and in the File menu (press F 10 if the menu bar is hidden).
Choosing that menu entry will open a new window with a new set of cookies marked multifox-profile-2 in the cookie manager.

OK, what am I missing here? I understand the basic concept of 2 different identity profiles, each holding a different password, right? How do I get the proper password in it's corresponding profile? I click on the e-mail link from my ISP to log in for checking suspesios e-mails. The link takes me to a web site via Firefox. If I go to Firefox's File/New Identity Profile, it opens a new web page. What am I doing wrong ???? Thanks in advance.
You need to login to the other account in the new window that opens if you click the "New Identity Profile" menu item.
