Because I can not think of a login to firefox.
Yes, that's mostly a Chrom* thing, I think. Up in the top right corner will be a little tab with a name on it, and that's how you're logged in on the browser, which segregates cookies and sessions and so on. BUT then I have to make sure the login is right on each browser instance so that I don't try managing one property with another property's account and such, soooo...
And also means that Google tracks you by name ;-)
The alternative (that comes to my mind, anyway; there could be more ways) is to ssh to A@localhost and set $DISPLAY and run the browser, which gives me all of those processes running as user A instead of as me and ensures that any window forked off of that is still running in the "A" context. Oh, and it works for FFox that doesn't know from accounts within the browser, too. But I have to chase display vars and figure out how to fire off the browser from the command line and so on...
You can "ssh -X user@localhost" and the vars will be correct. In the case of FF you have to use "firefox --no-remote &" and that's all. Chrome may have a similar option, dunno. Or you can instead do "su - user" and start FF the same manner. Or, you can in firefox create a new profile, and then start that profile with "firefox -P Amazon --no-remote &", for instance - that's how I start a different profile dedicated to Amazon, so that they can't track me that easily (and in other profiles I prohibit amazon from storing cookies). FF profiles are completely separate instances.

Not surprising; I'm in a distracting environment and I know I could do better. Sorry about that, and I hope that this clarifies.
