Version 2.9 of TwitterBar for Firefox was made available on Mozilla Add-ons today, and it has a very cool new feature: you can now use TwitterBar with more than one Twitter account.
To post to a specific account, just type your message like this:
I am posting to my other account. –@other_account –post
If you haven’t yet authorized TwitterBar for @other_account, you’ll be walked through the authorization process.
If you’ve authorized more than one account, and you don’t specify which account you want to post to, you’ll be given a list of choices:
You can manage your accounts from the TwitterBar options (just type “–options”).
Finally, to authorize a new account without posting to it, just type “–account” in the URL bar.
To install this new version of TwitterBar, download it from Mozilla Add-ons.
The next obvious step is the ability to post to multiple accounts simultaneously, and the next version of TwitterBar will offer than feature. If you’d like to beta-test that update, e-mail me and let me know.

I use Twitterbar regularly, and it’s one of the first things I install whenever I get my hands on a fresh PC, along with Firefox (naturally) and AdBlock Plus. It’s the perfect add-on for an egotistical Twittee like me who just wants to post shit and only semi-regularly read what other people have to say.
I would also commend you for finally supporting multiple Twitter-accounts. Only hang-up, though: in the Preferences window (at least on Windows), the “Add account” button does absolutely nothing. Kinda takes the wind out of the balloon, doesn’t it?
I accidentally authed the ‘wrong’ Twitter-account first, tried to add another to make it my default account, and wound up having to remove the first one and re-auth as if I were installing the prog from scratch.

One issue I have found with the multiple twitter account is that I can’t remove an old account. When I click the remove button it doesn’t do anything.
I am using FireFox 3.6.2 with no script running (perhaps that is causing an issue I will disable and see)
