As a multiple gmail and yahoo account owner, I can tell that for FF don't care how many Account you have setup for site; he can save each of them.
Firefox stores passwords for Accounts and sites, not for just sites...
If you go for saved paswords (Firefox button (top right) -> options -> security ->saved passwords), you would see the following structure :
Site/username/ (passwords aren't shown)
So it's possible to save passwords for multiple Accounts and Firefox saves each of them... If you have some troubles with that, please,let us know.
Multifox {web link} Multifox is an extension that allows Firefox to connect to websites using different user names. Simultaneously!
Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
- Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0
- Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
- (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
- (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
Firefox can store multiple passwords for the same website.

All very helpful. I went to the plug in manager and honestly do not see Shockwave 15 listed. I see 16 listed but no other? There's nothing there with 15 after it as a version number. I have been using Dashlane for a password manger and frankly thought it might be easier to use Firefox's own built in manager. I was suspecting that if I imported Firefox info to Chrome the passwords would come along with the info but I didn't get that far. I have so many issues with it, and the fixes are all over the place and so varied and many I think I'll stick with Dashlane. It seems to work more seamlessly. I'm sorry to have to say that. Dashlane works with multiple browsers which Firefox is proprietary. Thanks for your help. ":-Dx
15 is the old version, and was discovered to have security risks.

Click or double-click [whichever works for you ...] in the empty username field and a drop-down will appear with the usernames saved for that website. Simply click on the username account that you want to login with.
Thank you all. ":-Dx
