Hello,

I have searched and I can not a Firefox (FF) feature or an add-on that alleviates this issue, please let me know if either already exists, thank you in advance for your time.

Issue: I have had great difficulties in having two FF browser windows logged into different accounts on the same site at the same site. For instance, say I have logged into gmail.com in browser window A. Then I try to log into different gmail account in browser window B. Every time I replicate this scenario with secure sites, problems arise one way or another. It seems as though the two cookies are connected in some way, and I wish I had the ability to disconnect the two cookies from two FF browser windows. Also, expanding this capability to two FF tabs in a single browser window would be phenomenal.

Thanks again for your time and please let me know of any suggestions that you have.

There is an addon that will allow cookies to be self-contained in tabs. It isn't perfect but it works http://www.nektra.com/products/cookiepie-tab-firefox-extension
