MultiFox is a simple Firefox extension that allows users to log in to and browse with multiple accounts on the same website simultaneously. Multilogin allows you to perform the same function. Both softwares are free, but Multilogin contains features that MultiFox does not, such as the ability to assign a proxy to each individual account you are browsing with. In almost every case, users will want to use Multilogin over MultiFox because of these extra features. Continue on to learn the similarities and differences between the two, as well as how to decide which one to choose.
Similar Features
MultiFox’s main feature is allowing you to log in to multiple accounts on the same platform within a FireFox session. For example, you could use three different YouTube accounts from one computer at once, which would not usually be possible. You add your accounts to the dashboard and select which ones to use simultaneously.

MultiFox is a free extension and Multilogin has a free version that can accomplish everything that MultiFox can (and more). Click here to download Multilogin and begin adding your accounts. (There really isn’t any reason to use MultiFox once you have stumbled across Multilogin. Multifox is a great add-on for the Firefox web browser that has been designed for users who work with multiple accounts at the same web service. The add-on is compatible with Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 and can be downloaded from the developer's website. Does anyone know of a Multifox style extension for Chrome? At work, I manage multiple accounts for various social networking sites, and it would be nice to be able to log into them all at the same time in the same browser. But I don't like Firefox. If you download the beta version, you can use the new profiles feature to manage multiple.
Multilogin functions similarly, but its mechanism to allow multiple logins is slightly different. Multifox uses one FireFox window and each account session is opened in a new tab, whereas Multilogin uses a new window for each account session.
Extra Features
MultiFox is very limited in its approach. Aside from letting you log in and use each account simultaneously, there aren’t any extra features. For many users, this lack of features can be problematic. For example, if you wish to use three YouTube accounts at once, YouTube may suspend each account because each one is simultaneously logged in from the same IP address.
Multilogin lets you log in to accounts simultaneously, and it has the features you need to keep your accounts safe. You can assign a different proxy to each account to get past IP filtering and ensure consistency with every login. You can even set different fingerprint parameters for each account (elements like operating system, screen size, and browser) to make websites think your accounts are logging in from completely different computers, but the same computer for each account every time.
These features are important because even if you aren’t using multiple logins for nefarious purposes, many users are. If you take the easy way out with a simple extension like MultiFox, you may find your accounts suspended. In fact, you likely will.

Support
Multifox For Firefox All Versions
Multilogin has a team of developers constantly updating and improving the software. Even with the free version, you may send in support tickets and expect speedy replies.
MultiFox is rarely updated or improved by the developers and sometimes stays non-functional for days to weeks at a time. There is no option for support. You can try to leave a question on the FireFox extension page, but questions are rarely answered.
The Bottom Line
MultiFox performs its function. The plugin allows you to log in to multiple accounts on the same platform at once. But beyond that, MultiFox simply does not have the features that Multilogin has. Multilogin lets you do things like assigning a proxy/fingerprint setting to each account you use, which ensures consistency in each login and safety over time for your accounts. Many users will need these extra features in addition to the straightforward ability to log in to multiple accounts on the same platform at once.
Use MultiFox only if you absolutely need to have new sessions opened in separate tabs instead of in separate windows. Otherwise, use Multilogin for its expanded set of features. Click here to download Multilogin for free and get started now.

Multilogin browsers
Mimic browser
Mimic is an online privacy browser developed by Multilogin company. It’s based on Chromium engine with added browser fingerprint management capabilities. Unlike unmodified Chromium browser, Mimic browser does not send your real PC parameters to Google through Chrome's internal telemetry. Mimic browser is only available within Multilogin application.
Stealthfox browser
Stealthfox browser is based on the Firefox engine. It was the first browser in the world that challenged browser fingerprinting by actively managing browser fingerprints. Nowadays along with Mimic browser it's a leading solution for active browser fingerprint manager.
