Can I use multiple sync accounts on the same computer?

I have a sync account, so does my mom. we share computers

If I bookmark something on firefox and it's logged into her account with me knowing, then it shows up only on her account on the other machine.

Is there away to use multiple sync accounts at the same time? or do I have to logout of hers then log into mine?

Yes, each Firefox Profile can use a separate Sync account; each Logon User Account in Windows has its own unique Firefox Profile; so there shouldn't be any issues.

Newly added bookmarks are only going to get sync'd to the Sync account that a user is logged into when the new bookmark is saved.

Not sure if I am missing a 'something' in Windows 7 [as a new user coming fro WinXP a couple of months ago] , but I have to Log Out from one LUA before logging into another, so Sync wouldn't be running at the same time in both LUA's.
