This isn’t just handy to Gmail, but for those sneaky prowlers out there with multiple Facebook or Twitter, or even dare I say Myspace accounts.  Really ANYTHING that would require you to close your browser and start a new session to login.

I used to get along ok by opening a 2nd browser such as Chrome, but this makes it much much easier and a second window opens a heck of a lot faster than a new browser.  Once the extension is installed you just need to right-click on any link and choose “Open in a new Identity Profile”.

Presto, what looks like an ordinary new window is actually a whole new profile.  Now you can log into the same website you were just on, using a different name without closing your original session!  You can even keep track of which window is which by the profile number thrown onto the end of the address bar on the right…So check this out if your tired of having to log out and back into the same client using different names.  This is also handy if you have a cousin over visiting and he wants to jump onto your computer and check his Facebook real quick.

So go install Multifox in your Firefox browser now and let us know what you think or if you have any other good uses for it!  [GO->]
