Hallo,

when I have multiple accounts for a website which authenticate with user/pwd the
choice box for the username pops up only once, and afterwards the chosen account
is used forever (until I close Mozilla).
I would like to see a button to re-choose the username.
Currently Mozilla must be stopped and started (each window!).



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.have a web site where you can login with multiple accounts
2.choose one account
3.try to choose another account

Actual Results:  there is no option to choose another account

Expected Results:  there might be a button or menu entry to flush the
user/password information so that I can login with another account.
Instead I have to close all instances of Mozilla windows and restart.


I am working as a consultant for many customers, e.g. tracking bugs for them
with their vendors. Mostly those vendors have a bugtracking system with web
account system. It is very inconvenient to close all Mozilla windows just to do
a new login to the same page (only for another customer).

Thank you very much
and keep up with the good work. I am absolutely impressed by the achievements of
the developers. I totally converted from NS 4.7/IE 6.0 to Mozilla with 0.98.
