I just created my email address:X@gmail.com. When I try to open gmail, it defaults to my wife's account:X@gmail.com. How can I access these accounts separately?

You need to log out of your Wife's gmail and log into yours. http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=8154

Please update to Firefox 19 as well, your version is out of date.
