good point, Maybe if I come across a new Script for all google services I will surely share it here.

Works great for email, but not for google Documents, and probably the other links as well such as Photos. You have to “change user” whenever you want to see the other account’s documents.

Sticking with multi-browser option for now…

sometimes, not usually, this add on works on my macbook pro with firefox. however, usually, when i go to change user (gmail accounts), i get the following error message:

We’re sorry. It seems there is a problem. Please try using Gmail with a supported browser. If you’re encountering this error while using a supported browser, we suggest alerting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) that a proxy is failing to accept cookies on HTTP redirects.

it is explicitly related to cookies, as i have to clear the cookies before I can even get gmail to reload to log in again…

any solutions?

Cool trick , I know this is possible in Chrome by using the normal and the cognito mode, Never knew this cud be done in firefox, I use Flock browser for opening another account.

The script I have covered has even featured on lifehackerz along with many other places. This one is quite a popular one and I am not aware of any privacy issues with this add-on. Yes it is not safe to download any 3rd party scripts. Try to stick with the ones whch have been reviewed positively.

Ive been using this add-on never had any speed issues. Also with this i dont need two tabs or windows of the same browser open. Can move between diff accounts for the page itself. Hence I prefer using Greasemonkey script.

Hi,
I)this add-on is cool. we can also login to multiple accounts in two different browsers like one in IE and other in mozilla. Perhaps, Installing an add-on Which could also hurt your browser’s speed..

II) If you are using Chrome to browse you can log in multiple accounts ie… one in the normal window and other one in the incognito window(this works)…
