User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020916

I would like to have something what I would call 'identity'.
Each identity would have its own. separate , independent set of passwords.
I would like to be able to swithc identities from menus.
Example usage: I access both mine and my Mom accounts using password
manager. Now every time I enter the page a small popup window appears.

I would like to be able to define 'identity' and when I work as me 'Jacek'
then only the passwords/ids entered in this identity would appear.
When I swithc my 'identity' to 'Mom' I would like only userid/password pairs
that were defined as this identity to appear. If there is only
one userid/password pair related to given identity - there is no need
for inconvenient popup window.

Identity switch may require a password or not.

This would make easier for me to use galeon/mozilla.

thanks for good work,


Jacek

This is what profiles are for.  You can switch them from the "Tools" menu....

Mozilla already supports multiple user profiles through the profile manager. V
1.3 includes the ability to switch profiles at runtime.

If you want password-protected profiles--especially considering we're talking
about the linux platform--the sensible thing is to assign each user a separate
system account with their own home directory and mozilla setup.

What are you requesting that isn't already available?

If this is what this profiles do I just need to wait until I get
new mozilla/galeon released by Ximian.

Thank you for response/help
