For anyone who manages multiple accounts for various web services – email, productivity, etc – logging in and out of accounts can be a definite pain in the butt. For example, Gmail users are well aware that in order to check their other accounts, they’ll need to log out completely before logging in with a different set of credentials.

CookieSwap is an extension that enables you to maintain numerous sets or “profiles” of cookies that you can quickly swap between while browsing. This is useful for tasks like:

* Changing your cookies/identity to web e-mail sites (like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc) so that you can quickly look like different users. Nice if you maintain multiple accounts and are tired of logging out and then back in to switch accounts. Also nice if two people are using the same computer and want to switch between accounts quickly.

CookieSwap aims to do away with that inconvenience by adding a convenient little swapping feature to Firefox allowing you to name different profiles. Each profile can be toggled from the status bar meaning that your alternate personalities can come out to play without forcing you to logout of your favorite web services.
