You're tied to the session cookie that's set when you login the first time. You
need to logout of one (clear the set cookie) in order to login to your other
account.

-> INVALID

Yes I an able to open two account by loging out of one.  But I am not able to
logon two diffrent yahoo mail accounts simultaneously, but this is possible in IE.

That's correct, because IE scopes session cookies to a particular instance, and
we don't. And since that's what bug 117222 already asked for, this is a
duplicate of that bug, and there is no need to reopen this bug.
