Running more than The One Firefox Season
This is not a fake. The trick is to run diffrence Firefoxs with diffrent username but all are using the same display. Diffrent user means diffrent cookie set,and diffrent Gmail season.
Follow the these steps to spawn a new Firefox session:
1. Create a new user if you haven’t done so.
2. Note the display identifier used by current X session: echo $DISPLAY
3. Disable X authentication: xhost +, warning: this will disable authentication for X, this is a security hole if your X allows remote connections (which my Gentoo box doesn’t by default)
4. Switch to the new user: su - newuser
5.Change the DISPLAY variable to match step 1, for example: export DISPLAY=:0.0
6. Run Firefox: firefox &
Needless to say, this trick will also work for Yahoo, MSN, and all web sites using cookie based authentication that won’t allow multiple logins to the same site.
