I have found out this issue very recently when I was trying to upload my music library into my Youtube Music account, but couldn't do so because I was using my brand account. I tried to switch out to my personal account, but after clicking my personal account, the page refreshes and my account is still my brand account. I tried this with Youtube in Firefox and it's producing the same problem. I'm able to switch in and out of my accounts in Chrome, but yields differently when I tried it with Firefox. I figured I can maybe get some help to what I am supposed to do if I still want to use Firefox and able to switch account more easily.

I'm sorry, it seems the problem caused by one of my extension. I tried logging in my account and switching in and out in Private mode and it worked

Detail like websites remembering you and log you in automatically is stored in a cookie.

You would have to clear cookies for this website. You can also look at containers to be able to use multiple identities at the same time because containers allow to separate cookies.

Note that PB mode also uses its own in-memory cookie jar.
