Installed the latest firefox for the first time on Windows 7. I have private email account that is hosted by google aps (mydomain.com). When I go to mail.mydomain.com, that eventually gets translated to google.com/a/mydomain.com/.... The resulting username/password is saved for www.google.com. When I go to my gmail account, that translates to google.com/accounts. I have an account that has the same username there, but a different password. When I save the username/password, it overwrites the first one. IE explorer recognizes these as 2 different sites and save the username/password as 2 entries, where as firefox save the username/password as 1 entry.

Is there some way to get Firefox to use more of the web address to distinquish username/passwords for different accounts hosted by the same vendor?

Thank You

Every time Firefox opened
