Why firefox wont ask me to enter my mail "Account details (UserName and Password)" for 2nd time, if i open same "mail account" using another session (1st session still "login")

I opened "yahoomail" in one new tab,mail page asks me to enter "UserName and Password" once typed my details, it allows me to see my mails.Again I opened "yahoomail" in new tab (Still my 1st yahoo mail account in "login" state) to check my other account,this time it automatically allows me to see the previously opened account without asking me to enetr "Account Details"

All Firefox windows and tabs run in the same "session". You can't open a 2nd account on the same server as the first account without being able to handle "session cookies" for each account.

Take a look at these three extensions which can handle multiple "cookie sessions", and pick one.
