AFAIK Mozilla authenticates browser-wide. Personally, I use Mozilla for 
authenticated 'work' in Zope and IE for unauthenticated 'viewing' as 
it's what most people use and anything we make will have to view/behave 
well in IE. Two browsers rather than two instances of a single browser. 
Works for me.
