    This is not a security risk but a weirdness worth noting. I reported
    it as a bug to gmail but im not sure if its a bug on their part it may
    be firefox not doing something right.

    If you open two gmail accounts in two different firebird/fox browsers
    the first account logged into after a refresh becomes the second
    acccount. Or if you send an e-mail with the second account, it may
    send as the first and refresh back as account1.

    So if you login with GmailAccount1 and then open another browser and
    log into GA2, go back to GA1 browser and hit refresh, GA1 will be in
    the mailbox of GA2.

    This obviously is not a security risk because the mailbox was already
    logged into, but I still thought it was a weird thing to do. It doesnt
    act that way with internet exploder though so it must be something
    with Firefox ...
