What would be the best way to use different Gmail, StackExchange, Hotmail accounts etc. at the same time?

Currently I use different browsers (Firefox and Chrome) for different purposes. Another technique could be to have several (Windows) user accounts. I think some browsers permits different profiles.

It should be as transparent as possible. I think I could achieve this by Firefox syncing tools like Lastpass (between different profiles/accounts).

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

If you'd like to use multiple profiles with firefox this is easy. There is a built-in Profile Manager: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager#Windows

You can use the -no-remote parameter: kb.mozillazine.org/… – CHfish Oct 30 '11 at 0:40
Seems to be better than different user accounts for most purposes. – Olav Mar 2 '12 at 18:17
One problem I have is separating the different profiles, I can use theming, but the icons in the Windows taskbar look the same. – Olav Mar 2 '12 at 18:18
