User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

when opening multiple tabs of the same page but using different log-in and
passwords the tabs leak over. For example I have multiple accounts and when
opening three tabs all the tabs will use the same account when you switch
between them even if you log-in with different accounts on each tab.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open multiple tabs with same log-in page.
2. log-in with different user names and passwords.
3. Switch tabs

Actual Results:  
The first tab logged in normal the remaining tabs will be logged in with the
first account.

Expected Results:  
Each tab should have remained logged on to the seperate accounts insted of
bleeding over to the other tabs.

HTTP is stateless. Isn't it a function of the server how it keeps track
of how you are logged in from a given IP?

What happens with different windows? Different browsers?

probably the browser identifies it as only a single log-on session. Same things
happens for instance when creating multiple cards at the same time at 

http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/iCards.woa/8/wa/default?cty=US&wosid=HFfU8BWQt4UKPfKbGZyeBM&lang=en
or hotmail for that matter.
