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.

Next moves: Spy Studio, Deviare, OEAPI for Vista, NKT WAB LGPL

As you may already know, Nektra core skills & knowledge can be briefly summarized in system internals & problem solving, innovation and creativity. We were working hard to introduce new products in the market and it's very stimulating when you receive "Wows!" from people who can appreciate the complex stuff we have made.

Our next play is Spy Studio, Deviare, OEAPI for Vista & NKTWAB license change to LGPL:

Spy Studio is a new tool for hooking microsoft windows applications, it has an intuitive interface and you don't need to be an expert in assembler or reverse engineering to insert hooks into different API's or DLL's. It has many interesting applications like seeing what your software is doing internally, and from the business perspective it's very useful for monitoring, isolating processes access to some API or DLL, debugging, litigation & software forensics, support, software engineering blackbox testing, etc. You can download it now from here. We would be very glad to receive you comments in our forums

Deviare is the component to do your own applications and the framework used to develop Spy Studio. You can do your own hooking application with it, and extends Spy Studio's possibilities to your own requirements, for example your own api monitors, administration tools, themes/skins/gui (i.e: scrollbar issues), posture agents, intrusion detection at the application level, etc.

OEAPI has been growing and now supports Vista's Windows Mail in addition to Outlook Express. We are currently at the version 3.1.2 and 3.2.0 will be released very soon. OEAPI has really improved in demos, documentation, performance and capabilities. There is an updated list at What's new section.

NKT WAB is now LGPL and it shows how to implement features not available or documented in the microsoft windows api. This component is useful for accessing the WAB (Windows Address Book), creating groups & folders and now supports Vista's contacts too.

There is new stuff coming, but the most important thing is that our customers continue expressing their Wows!
