When I try to start a second "independent" FF window and navigate to a site the FF window is reusing my login credentials
I'm starting the second instance from the system tray icon which in the past created an independently running instance allowing me to login as a different user and maintain a different memory foot print. Can this still be done in FF 7?
Launch an instance, login to my site. Launch second instance. Navigate to my site. FF behaves as if I'm already logged in.
This wasn't an issue, following these same steps, in previous FF version (4, I think).

In Firefox all browser windows and tabs use the same cookies that will identify you to the server.
If you open a different account then existing cookies are send to the server and the server sees that you already signed on (authenticated).
You can look this extension if you want to sign on with different identities at the same time:
