Arie84: This one is the original. The other is someone trying to pass off my hard work as their own. It could even be malicious. For your own safety, please don't install it.

There are two "Google Account Multi-Login" scripts on UserScripts.org: www.userscripts.org/scripts/show/16341 (this one) and www.userscripts.org/scripts/show/30491 .

Which one is the best?

Quite nice; good against bad stress.

I agree in that would be very wood if there was the option of putting more than one individual (or two) and of different species. Do you see that this also could be the beginning of a good simple game to be played in the same browser, at odd moments, good for relaxing changing activity for moments without leaving the page in what one is working on?

Cool, thanks.

Because updating timestamps by hand is tedious, I've made the "Script Timestamp Updater" script ( http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/32137 ). Each time you "manually" edit a script and save it, it will update the version_timestamp variable. Does not work when uploading a script file.

Contains its own Script Update Checker snippet, so anyone who downloads it will be duly informed of any updates. Note the extra 'if(version_timestamp){...}' around the Checker code. As the script developer I don't want to be informed of any updates, hence my master copy has version_timestamp set to 0 and the extra if() takes care of the rest. Could also be done by setting an extremely high timestamp, but I like to make things explicit.

Edit: Now also updates the script number. It's now ok to set both variables to 0 in your master script, and leave the rest to the script. If you upload from file, after saving return once more to the 'Edit source' page and push the Save button again to ensure that these variables are correctly updated.

If it doesn't already do that, then probably not.

can u have it change the user loged in to the gaia toolbar when changing account in the next up date

this script saves me a lot of time :D

sometimes it works and sometimes not. I use firefox 3.0.1, greasemonkey 0.8.20080609.0, and better gmail 2 0.6. and when I type the password, it would be much better if you convert the characters with asterisk characters. thank you.

Note: to quickly switch google accounts, there's also cookieswap, a firefox extension that can switch cookies.

For me, this script doesn't work when I first load Gmail (when I'm automatically signed in). It only works if I open Gmail, sign-out, then sign-in again.

I find it works about half the time, and half the time not. I thought it was because one of the three accounts I use is in Portuguese, but with all of them set to US English the problem is the same. When it is working it rocks!

pukha lenee-bluhm: This is an issue with the Greasemonkey API and Firefox 3. I had a workaround for it, but a GMail code update caused it to stop functioning. I have made an attempt to contact Google about it, but whether they will reply or rectify the issue is anyone's guess.

i just installed this wonderful script... problem is that it works everywhere but gmail for some reason. drop down box appears with google news, docs, calendar, reader etc. but not on my (new version) of gmail. i am running firefox 3 and have disabled better gmail but to no avail.

any ideas? thanks.

Awesome.

The Google Apps functionality is still quirky, but the API-related problem is indeed fixed (and it was the more important of the two problems). Thanks.

That's weird! Today it functions with no problems.

I will prompt you if any new things happen.

El_Farah, did you happen to note if any Javascript errors were showing up when the dropdown doesn't appear?

Thank you very much for your script and time you're spending on it. We're grateful.

I'm using "Better GMail 2" (https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/6076) it's a well known addon that redesign Gmail web page. I have also installed "Google Account Multi-Login" and it's worked very well. Once I updated it on 06/30/08 it doesn't work any more even after I made the last update, the dropdown control doesn't even appears. Tha problem occurs only if "Better Gmail 2" is activated.

Thank you again.

No problem.

Hmm this update looks what I was looking for, thanks!

aidje: Thanks for reporting back about the Google Apps. As for the box not showing, this is a problem between Google's Greasemonkey API for GMail and Firefox 3. Not even Google's own example code runs properly if the API file is cached. I'm trying to figure out a workaround for it.

Regarding Google Apps: It works better than it did, but it's still a little flaky. It didn't work at all before. Now it works, but instead of remaining in Gmail (or whatever service I'm using at the moment), it sends me to the main Google account page when I try to switch to my Google Apps account. For some reason, I'm also having to enter my Google Apps password every time this happens (of course, this could be user error of some sort, but I don't think I'm doing anything wrong). These problems only apple to Google Apps accounts.

Also, since the last update, the pop-up menu is not always appearing when it should. A lot of times, I'm only getting the Sign Out link that one sees without the script running. This applies to both Google Apps and regular Google accounts.

coreyhammond: Log out from which page? It worked fine for me just now logging out from GMail.

Burd: It's the same as the "Keep me logged in" checkbox on the normal login screen.

BlaenkDenum: Whoops, didn't realize I'd left that debug code in there. Good thing I did, though, since that what you copied told me why it's not working. I'll have an updated version uploaded in a few minutes, and if you get a chance, would you mind letting me know if it functions correctly? I don't have a Google Apps account to test it out with.

billlava: I know that. It's not any less safe than checking "Keep me logged in" or letting Firefox save login information.

Hi Jarett !

I'm using Opera which does not have support for GM_* functions. As you script is nice it's getting spread in many other scripts now.

Maybe you would like to add a try { … } catche(e) {} around the function updateCheck(forced) { … in order not to make those scripts fail, even if they would be Opera friendly otherwise (ie. not using any GM_* function).

Example: MusicBrainz Subscriptions

Just as a little security issue - this script stores password information for your accounts in your about:config file. That seems quite risky to me, and if I worked in a more tech-savvy office, there's no way I'd leave it there. As it is, hardly anyone else here even uses firefox, much less knows what about:config even is...
