Ok, you make a change in admin and then want to see how it looks to users. With two windows open, one showing what a user sees and the other the admin interface, how do you shift between them? Now it seems necessary to log out and in again to make the other window work. FF seems to detect the same IP address and shift the other window to the current window's login status.
Surely others know how to do this without all the frenzied relogging. What am I missing?

Workaround: Use a different browser for each.
It seems a browser cannot have FF logins by different users, whether they're in separate tabs or windows. So you cannot be logged in as admin and change settings and also have a window or tab open with a registered user login to see the results for users.
If you use a different browser, it works. I can be logged in as an administrator in Firefox and, at the same time, as a registered user in Internet Explorer. No more frenzy of logging in and out.

Two reactions:
1. Yes, I missed that setting or didn't understand it.
2. It doesn't work in my system. After enabling Multiple Host Login and confirming URL Sessions were disabled, two different users cannot be logged in at the same time from the same location (IP address?). Details:
One login works normally. Any subsequent logins shift to the same logged-in user, and both become locked in. Then, no users can logout.
All instances (in browser windows or tabs) always have the same logged in user, and that cannot be changed. Again, none of them can logout. Clicking logout makes the screen blink, but it has no effect. This happens in Firefox and in IE.
The only way to clear this and let logged-in users logout is to change the Multiple Host Login setting to off (no).

Thanks for the tip. Your method works for the same reason that using two different browsers on the same computer works:
Using, say Firefox and IE, each browser stores its own cookies and so can have different FF logins.
