I regularly use a website that helps me sell books. I enter ISBNs and it creates a virtual bookbag. This bookbag will be there when I shut down the computer and come back unless I clear its cookie (or whatever keeps that bookbag intact) via Tools>Clear Recent History. The bookbag can accommodate about 25 books. Its very tedious to create, so when I have 200 books, for instance, I want to create 8 bookbags. That is what I want to do with Firefox. Using what, I don't know. Masking my domain, something. I'm not very tech savvy.

TO clarify, I'd like to have a way to go to this webstie (www.bigwords.com), create several discrete bookbags that will be held in cookie-land or virtual-world, what have you. I have been at this a long time. Please help! ....z....

I'm not sure I understand this site. It is a price comparison search engine that lets you store a list of searches as a bookbag? Most sites maintain your history on the server and match it up with you using your login. A cookie can be set to keep you logged in.

If the site only allows one bookbag, and/or doesn't save your bookbag between logins, it may be difficult to maintain 8 active sessions. One not-very-convenient approach would be to create multiple Firefox profiles, since each profile has its own cookies. This would require closing and restarting Firefox when you want to work with a different bookbag. To give it a try, see Managing profiles | How to | Firefox Help.

The value of your solution is worth the inconvenience! Thanks. I found another add-on that works, between tabs!! No closing then restarting. Here it is: http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/

Thank you very much
