Account Manager is an experimental Firefox extension that lets you login and logout of web sites by clicking the Account Manager button to ‘Connect’ and ‘Disconnect’ from your online account. It makes the whole damn process of getting in-and-out of web sites easy. The project went public a month ago but then testing wasn’t possible . Now you can try it on web services like Facebook, Google, Mozilla Add-ons, Yahoo and a few others, provided Firefox is enabled to store your passwords.
