Logging in to a site with 2 different accounts in IE8/FF

[Insomniator]

Hey guys got a simple problem I'm not sure how to solve...

A woman at work needs to log into our employee website with multiple accounts at once. However if she's logged in and go's back to that site in a new window or tab it doesn't even prompt for a username/pw it just brings her to the account she logged in first as. If she logs out and logs in as a second account, the original login gets switched to the new account.

So basically I've been having her use FF for one and IE8 for the other but this is a stupid solution obviously, plus she needs more than 2 accounts at once...

I assume this has to do with cookies?

Yes I believe it is a cookie issue. Have you tried using Firefox with the IE Tab addon? that may work.

It's because IE8 windows share the same parent process and thus share session information.

You can get around this by creating an IE shortcut with the /nomerge option or by selecting New Session from the File menu (as opposed to New Window).
