Cookie swap add-on for Firefox

Posted by Nathanael Boehm on June 30th, 2008 in General

I don’t know if I’m simply using the wrong search terms - but I seem unable to find an extension for Firefox that allows me to swap cookies for a site so I don’t have to keep logging in and out of a site for different user names. Perhaps it’s not a common need … but I look after about a half dozen Twitter accounts and at the moment the easiest option is to simply have Internet Explorer logged into one account and Firefox logged into another account.

But that only caters for 2 accounts - and doesn’t help me with my Asus Eee PC because I only have Firefox running on this.

So if anyone knows of a good extension for this to easily manage and swap between profiles for a single site including accommodating for changing passwords for those accounts (and please don’t mention CookieSwap) then let me know!

    Haven’t used it before but will this do the trick?

    You could just use Firefox’s in-built profile management system, and use a different profile for each twitter account. The other upside to this is that you can run a different instance of Firefox (at the same time) and be logged in to two different accounts.

    The “Firefox’s in-built profile management system” is windows dependent, so it’s not portable. Cookie Swap extension is a much better solution :)
