My problem is small, but it is this: every time I access a google page, my spouse's account is automatically logged in. Every time I have to switch account to mine. Is there something I can do in settings to make firefox ask me or my spouse which one of us is trying to log in? I don't see where in settings I might do that.

For more detail: I do not have to enter my login information, I just need to click on my account.

You might say this is not a problem, but it is a bit irritating.

I tried logging out of all accounts, then I logged in mine, then my spouse's, now it automatically opens up to my account rather than hers. Ha! I don't really want to switch to chrome. I think I'll just live with this.

Thank you Dropa for the reply.

I assume that you use the same Windows account and also use the same Firefox profile folder. If you use the same Firefox profile folder then instead you should at least use separate profiles for both of you.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
