Simple : use firefox plugin CookiePie, it allows the user to open multiple accounts for services such as Gmail, Yahoo, eBay, Facebook, Twitter, or others in different tabs or browser windows simultaneously. It can also be used by developers who want to work with different versions of web pages with each tab or windows having its own distinct cookies environment.
With CookiePie you can simply right click on a browser tab or window in order to give it its own unique cookies environment.
notes on this program:
- How it works: right click on the browser tab and select "Toggle on/off CookiePie", then log into your desired account. Do the same thing in other windows/tabs as you please and you can be working with multiple accounts of the same web services (Gmail, in my case) at the same time.
- New tabs: created by right-clicking a CookiePie-enabled tab will not share the latter's cookie environment.
- Supported browsers: Firefox, Flock and GNU IceWeasel. I used it with Firefox 3

ReplyDeleteYou can choose between 2 paths:
ReplyDeleteEASY one: install a recent version of firefox and install the plugin automatically.
DIFFICULT one:
install Firefox Extensions manually
1. Go to the download page and right-click on the link for the version you wish to install (I always suggest the latest version) and select "Save Link As...". Choose a directory to save the extension to and click "Save".
2. Optional:You can now view the extension's source by extracting the "pluginXX.xpi" (where "XX" is similar to the version number). With some operating systems you can just right-click on the .xpi and choose extract; others you might need to change the extension from .xpi to .zip, then extract it. With Linux you can simply extract the jar also, I've never tried to do this with another OS, so I'm not sure about the procedure.
3. Now that the .xpi is saved to your computer, you just need to install it. Open Firefox and push "Ctrl+o". This will open a box; navigate to where you saved "cookiepieXX.xpi". Linux users may need to choose "All Files" in this box to be able to see the .xpi; "All Files" should be the default for MS Windows users. Double click "pluginXX.xpi".
4. A box will appear where after a few seconds, the "Install" button will become active. Click this button and the installation will begin.Once the installation begins, the box from the last step will disappear, replaced by the "Extensions" menu where once complete, you will see a message like "Success! You must restart your browser to complete the installation."
5. Close Firefox and reopen. The extension should now be installed.
I'll try, many thanks!
ReplyDeletesee you soon, as soon as I have a new firefox!
