Cookiepie 1.0.0: Open many Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail accounts on Firefox

Cookiepie is one of the favorite Firefox extensions for web developers and users of webmail services like Google Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail.

Web developers use cookiepie to test their sites.
In the past, if a site (e.g. home banking, community site) required extensive testing simulating many different users, the developer needed to open different browsers. Currently all browsers, including Firefox, have just one place to store cookies.

Some users of webmail services have more than one web account to log into. People are using each web account for different purposes but they can't login to the same site at the same time in the same browser.

The Cookiepie Firefox Extension is a solution to this problem, as it allows users to log into different webmail accounts on separate tabs. Try it with two or more of your Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail accounts.

This new release fixes problems experienced in Gmail 2.0, and supports many complex sites like the new Yahoo mail. Even webmail embedded chat is working now!

We have made a short video so you can see it in action:



Cookiepie is Free Open Source Software under the GPLv2 license. You can install it now from Nektra Cookiepie site.
Please, if you have comments leave them in our group here. We would particularly like to hear about your experience with other sites, such as Facebook. We are making a list of supported websites.
