Login To Multiple Account In One Browser On Mozilla Firefox

October 11, 2010 • 11 Comments

[Updated] Multifox doesn’t work anymore. Currently I’m using Firefox Multi-Account Containers, it’s work like a charm.

For whatever reasons you have in your mind, to open multiple accounts like Facebook or Gmail or any forums, which you cannot do that in just one browser. You have to open multi web browser like one in Firefox and the other in Google Chrome. Like i used to do. You cannot do it in one browser because that browser will store cookies on your browser and it will check it in another tabs or windows.

But there is a magic plugin for you to login to your multiple account in different tab in Firefox. Yes that’s why i love Firefox. You can login to Multiple account in multiple tabs on Firefox using Firefox plugin MultiFox.

[quote]Multifox is an extension that allows Firefox to connect to websites using different user names. Simultaneously! For example, if you have multiple Gmail accounts, you can open them all at the same time. Each Firefox window, managed by Multifox, accesses an account without interfering each other.[/quote]

Multifox Installation

  1. Go to Multifox homepahe and Install it. It need to restart your Firefox after installation.
  2. Here is the magic thing: Go to File and click on New Identity Profile. It will open a new tab or new windows.

This will open a new window of Firefox Browser. Make note of that 2 at the most right corner of the address bar. You will notice the identity number at your address bar.

Now you can login to your multiple account.

Even Multifox store cookies in different container, it seems cannot handle to use different connection. For example login to multiple account from different socks/proxy. So you still need to use another browser to do this.

      Not really, cos alot of apps/toolbars can't be used on other browsers. So you can enjoy all the add-ons from the one browser..
      Tyvm Ivan, this is fantastic..

    no need to use plugin just disable cookies and open different tabs such that the cookie will not transfer data from one tab to another or else just use this link specified below
    google.com/accounts
    and login -> this will be your first account
    then just click the link i.e, edit next to the multiple login
    your email id will be displayed on the right top corner with a downward arrow so that you can login to different accounts in the same web browser and switch between them very easily
    for any help in web tech just drop me a mail

    there’s an analog of Multifox, which can handle different connections (e.g. with different proxies at the same time). It’s called AccPimp.
