By design you can only be logged into one email account at a time. You need to log out of the first before logging into the 2nd.

I am told that there is a setting in Gmail preferences to allow multiple simultaneous logins to Gmail; never needed it myself and have never used it.

Multifox add-on allows Firefox to handle multiple cookie sessions with the same server. That is the limitation with Firefox.
