I just recently began using Firefox at the suggestion of a friend who is a computer network engineer.  I love the product and consider it to be far superior to Internet Explorer, with the exception of a couple of features . . .

I am one of those people who has multiple e-mail accounts both with Hotmail and Yahoo, as I use each account for a specific, dedicated purpose.  The drawback that I have encountered with Firefox is that I cannot log into multiple accounts simultaneously.  I am accustomed to doing so and then just leaving them open so that I can check them throughout the day.  Firefox allows me to only log into one account at a time and if I wish to access the other accounts, I have to log out and then log back into the alternate accounts one at a time. This is very inconvenient.  Consequently, I am currently forced to use Internet Explorer for the purpose I just described above.

I'm hoping that you will address this issue and satisfactorily resolve it, because I honestly both enjoy and prefer using Firefox.  I consider it to be the superior product.  Thank you!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Log into either Hotmail or Yahoo e-mail account.
2.  Open additional tab to log into another account.
3.  Use bookmark to go to login page.
4.  Login page does not appear, I just get the exact same account (already logged in) as is seen on the original tab.
Actual Results:  
The same thing happens every time.  I just get a duplicate copy of the front page of the e-mail account that I originally logged into on the first tab.

Expected Results:  
Given me the ability to log into a separate Hotmail or Yahoo e-mail account simultaneously.

The only work around is to use Internet Explorer to open multiple Hotmail and Yahoo e-mail accounts simultaneously and use Firefox for everything else.
