Facebook detects if you are logged in Gmail

Google Chrome's "users" should let you segment all your cookies and browsing neatly.

I use it to separate my various different Google identities and logins (so I can stay logged in with distinct accounts).

(Google's multiple sign-in is rarely effective or convenient)

I have a dedicated Firefox profile for Facebook. This keeps all cookies separate. I haven't done a deep check as to whether this avoids all the Facebook problems, but it's a start.

Not flash "cookies". You only have one flash plugin that runs in every browser, and has one "cookie" store.

(Not that I know if/whether FB abuses this, I don't even have an FB account. Just sayin'.)
