On Google Chrome one of the features built in is the ability to handle multiply Google Accounts. So I sign in to Google and Save all my Passwords and Bookmarks. Then if my computer breaks or a need to use another account I just have to log in on Google and everything's peachy.

Is the feature only for Chrome or can I get Firefox to do the same thing.

Ugh... sounds like a security risk to me

The feature is new to Chrome. When you install Chrome on a computer as soon as the browsing opens you will sign into your Google Account. Then anything you bookmark or any password you save will be saved on the cloud. If you computers breaks you can just sign back in and its business as usual.

You also have the option of adding Additional Google Accounts for other people who use your computer.

Sorta like the Chrome OS.

Ditto that. I wouldn't touch such a feature with a barge pole.

Wouldn't do that. Third on the security risk. All someone has to do is hijack a browser session or something, and you're hosed. I hope you have a good adblock chrome app.

I'm a Chrome user, and I refuse to touch that feature, too much of a security risk.
