Staying logged in under both names?

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

I've just mentioned, in comments to another thread, that I can leave this journal logged in using Firefox, and dougs logged in using Internet Explorer, and I don't have all that tedious logging in and logging out all the time.

Other people may find this technique useful.

The only trouble is that when I click on a link in a comment notification email (things like "see all comments on this entry") it insists on opening up in the default browser (if I open it in non-browser email client) or in the browser I'm using to read email -- this might be the one logged into the "wrong" account. But I can drag links from one browser into the other one, and they open just fine.

It would probably work just as well if I installed other browsers for third or subsequent accounts.

If you don't mind open tabs in your tray, if you open a NEW browser window for IE (NOT the file->new->window but a brand new browser window) AND not have it set to 'stay logged in', you can open a brand new browser window and sign in to as many LJ ids as you can stand to have little tabs in your tray.
