Idea for Firefox 3: Save passwords for more than 1 account on a site.

I have two myspaces and i have one's password saved. I think that a new feature could be to save more than one password for more accounts on a site. It could come in handy in many different ways.

You already can have have multiple usernames+passswords on a single website. The only difference is that when you see the login prompt, you can't see the username and password filled in yet (as you would see if you saved 1), because the system doesn't know yet which one you want to use. There's no little triangle to show you a popup either. What happens is that when you start typing a username, you see a popup coming up. Choosing one of them (or keep typing the username) will then select the corresponding password.

I have been using this feature but I think it should be more discoverable.
Opera can show a dialog box with the list of usernames for the page when you hit ctrl+enter.
