Does Firefox have a simple way to switch between accounts?

Does Firefox have a simple way to switch between multiple accounts without having to log out of one and log into the other. I use multiple accounts for many sites like Gmail, Yahoo, Twitter, Tumblr and so on and I have not found a good day to switch in Firefox. I hate Chrome but it does make things easier in some ways. For switching Google accounts in Chrome it is a single click of a tab and select a profile from the list and your done. For switching Twitter accounts there is an add on that while in Twitter you can select the account button and a list of your accounts shows up and just like that it switches. I've email the developer of that one and he says he as tried to make one for FF but is unable to because of (a bunch of programming talk I didn't understand). I've found one extension for FF that says it can switch between accounts but I haven't found any sites that it actually works for.

Multifox {web link} Multifox is an extension that allows Firefox to connect to websites using different user names. Simultaneously!

Thanks for the reply. I have tried Multifox in the past and it did work so well for saving the login info for the various accounts. It didn't seem to work with Twitter at all.

A built-in feature is planned for a future release (Container Tabs), but for the time being...

  • Firefox can have separate cookies in regular windows and private windows, so opening the site in a regular window and a private window provides one way to use a site with two separate identities simultaneously. Note that there are only two cookie jars total; all regular windows share one, and all private windows share the other.
  • Use Multifox or similar tab/window isolation extension
