You need two independent set of cookies to achieve this and only an extension can do this.

You can get a second set temporarily by switching to Private Browsing mode and keep the current session open, but that still allows you to only one access one account at the time and you need to login again after reverting to the first account by stopping PB mode.

This is a good answer. However I hope Firefox can get this fixed in the future so that it doesnt require an add-in. In Internet Explorer, no add-in is required.
