I use multiple tabs in Firefox. IE also has multi tabbed browsing.
Alternately, you can use 2 browser windows. You can switch between tabs
in Firefox using Alt 1 for the first tab, and alt 2 for the second tab,
etc. If you have 2 browsers open, you can switch between with alt-tab.
Refreshing the browser is as simple as alt F5.
