Another Firefox addons question...

Hi everyone,

Sorry to ask technical questions, but I'm trying to re-find a link to an addon for Firefox that allowed you to manage multiple Livejournal and Dreamwidth logins, eg. for roleplay, and switch between them easily. Now that I'm posting over here and wrangling personal and fanfic journals on both sites it'd be useful, but I'm hanged if I can find the LJ post where I saw it! Anyone know the thing I'm talking about?

LJ Login is the most common add-on for that, but it can cause problems with Dreamwidth. Most notably, you'll need to set your site scheme within LJ Login as well as within Dreamwidth, or it will switch you back to Tropospherical Red every time you switch accounts.

If you have any issues with it, feel free to contact Support and they may be able to help, although it's not officially supported.

THANK YOU.

I just realized that the reason I've been switching back and forth is that I haven't set the site scheme on ALL the journals. What a random happy coincidence!

I'm not getting any results for that name on Mozilla Add-ons - do you have a direct link?

Google finds this, which looks about right.

Drat, it depends on Password Manager, which I don't wish to use. Ah well; my current solution works.

I didn't know there was one JUST for handling journal sites - I'll have to check it out. I use CookieSwap for this purpose.

Thanks for the link!

I managed to find a similar extension for Chrome: Swap my Cookies. I'm definitely going to check it out!
