Several family members use each of our household and office computers. We all 
have our own Google Accounts, but we share some of those accounts. For 
instance, we rely on Google Keep to shopping lists and to-do lists, but Keep 
works much better if we all use a single Google Account rather than sharing 
Keep notes with different accounts.

Here’s my Seamonkey question. When accessing a Google website, it’s pretty 
obvious which Google Account we’re signed in on, and switching accounts is 
pretty easy. But many other websites seem aware of what Google Account was used 
most recently on that computer but don’t display that information or allow 
users to change accounts. For instance, a ‘save to calendar’ button or a ‘save 
this location’ button will add an event to Google Calendar or a location to 
Google Maps, but the user can’t tell which Google Account is receiving this 
information, or how to direct it to a different account. I regularly save 
important events to the wrong calendar or the wrong map, not realizing what 
happened until I’m out and around and need the information on my phone and 
can’t find where it got stored.

I open and close Seamonkey browser windows all day, but maybe because I have a 
single Seamonkey email window open all day, Seamonkey remembers which Google 
Account was used most recently, even a day or two earlier.

My problem may be worse because I regularly keep a Google Chrome browser window 
open. I despise the Chrome interface, but there are quire a few websites that 
just won’t display properly in Seamonkey, or won’t open at all (financial sites 
are the biggest offenders). In Chrome, it’s a little easier to tell which 
Google Account is being used, but I can’t tell how or if Chrome and Seamonkey 
interact as to Google Accounts.

I’ve searched many Google support sites and forums to figure out how Google 
Accounts interact with web browsers, but haven’t been able to find any 
explanations that shed light on my situation!
