I used to do this in chrome. You can click on your profile picture in the upper-right corner of the gmail UI to switch accounts. You end up having a different URL per user, like https://mail.google.com/mail/u/<number>, where <number> is 0 or 1 if you have two users. You can put these in bookmarks and have them open in different tabs.
I have bookmarks for the usernames in the URLs, much better than hoping they stay in the same order.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/example@gmail.com
Awesome, thanks for the tip.
This also seems to work with non-Gmail URLs, where the "authuser" parameter is used (e.g. Google Analytics).
This is called "multilogin". You sure can bookmark them, but if you ever happen to get logged out and then you log back into them in a different order, you'll find that the 0/1/2 really do refer simply to "the <N>th Google account I signed into", so your bookmarks might not work.
Yeah, I would just log out of all of them and log back in with the desired order if that happened. That doesn't happen very often though.
