The cookies stored by firefox are shared across the tabs. If you want to
be able to log in using separate users in firefox, then you can do that
using separate firefox profiles.

Try

    firefox -ProfileManager

the create a new profile or select the profile to run from whatever
profiles you may already have. If you already have firefox running, use

    firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote

to start firefox in a separate process.
