How to Enable and Use Google Multiple Sign-in Feature?

Google has introduced a new feature called "Multiple Sign-in" which allows you to sign into multiple Google accounts simultaneously from same browser so now you no longer need to sign out from one Google account to use another Google account.

Following are the how to instructions taken from the official announcement: 

How to Enable Google Multiple Sign-in Feature:
1. Open Google Accounts page and look for a new option "Multiple sign-in". If you don't see the new feature, it will probably be enabled soon.

2. Click on "Edit" link or use this link to directly edit "Multiple Sign-in" settings.

3. After clicking on the link, Google informs that this is an advanced feature and that it will only work for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Sites, Google Reader, Google Voice, App Engine and Google Code.
Click on the "On" option and select all available checkboxes and then click on "Save" button. 

How to Use Google Multiple Sign-in Feature:
When you enable this feature, you'll see a new drop-down next to your email address in Gmail and other supported Google products. Click on the drop-down and you can sign in to a new Google Account without signing out from the previous account.

NOTE: If you use multiple sign-in, the first account you sign in to will be your default account. If you visit other Google products that don't support multiple accounts after you've signed in, you will automatically sign in to your default account for that product. If you sign out of any Google product while signed in to any account, you will be signed out of all your Google Accounts at once.

Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta Update | Beta 4 Preview Build Available, Download Link Inside

UPDATE 6:
Mozilla has compiled final build of Beta 3 and started working on Beta 4 build. Download links are given at the end of this topic. 

UPDATE 5:
The latest Beta 3 Preview build adds a new option to enable / disable tab previews in Windows Taskbar in Firefox Options page:
 

UPDATE 4:
The nightly build features "App Tabs" option which puts the tab to the left of Tab bar. It also shrinks the size of the tab and only shows the favicon to save the Tab bar space.
To convert a tab into "App Tab", right-click on the tab and select "Make into App Tab" option.
To make it normal, again right-click on the tab and select "Make into Normal Tab" option. 

UPDATE 3:
The Titlebar "App" button glitch, which we mentioned earlier, has been fixed in the latest Alpha 6 Preview build.
PS: A new glitch found! Double-clicking on Tab bar should create a new tab but now it maximizes / restores browser window which is incorrect behavior. 

UPDATE 2:
Mozilla has again updated the UI of its upcoming web browser Firefox 4.0 (which is still named as 3.7 in testing builds) in the latest Alpha build.
The new "App" button has been moved to Titlebar which saves space and also "Tabs on Top" option has been enabled by default so the Tab bar is shown on Top by default.


There is some glitch btw. When you maximize the window, the "App" button doesn't look properly. Since its an Alpha build and the work is in progress, the glitch will be fixed in future builds. 

UPDATE 1:
The latest Mozilla Firefox 3.7 Alpha 5 Preview build comes with a new Add-ons Manager as shown in following screenshot:


The most noticeable change is, it doesn't open in a new dialog box. Instead it opens in a new tab in the same browser window.

It shows a better organized interface compared to the old one. The fonts size has been increased for better readability.

Overall its a nice change and makes the browser more user-friendly.
