: Hello, everybody:

: Is anybody aware of a way to manage multiple 
: sessions in Firefox (or other browser)?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's possible using Internet Explorer, as long as each window is running
inside it's own iexplore.exe process. So, if you launch two IE windows from
your Start menu (or from the Quick Launch bar) then they will not session
memory (since they are separate processes), and they won't share session
cookies (since these are stored in memory).

On the other hand, if you use "File -> New Window" from within IE, then the
new window is contained within the existing process, and session cookies are
shared between the two windows.

Cheers
Ken
