295857 - SESSION SHOULD ALWAYS BE KILLED AUTOMATICALLY

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 117222

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: 

This BUG is RELATED TO Bugzilla Bug 217341:

I'm a huge firefox fan.....but...there is a serious problem to be solved around 
closing sessions automatically when closing a Firefox browser session.

Starting from the knowledge where (hated) IE closes browser sessions 
automatically:
General users assume that all browsers kill sessions automatically too.

So when they reopen a new firefox session and see themselves still logged in 
they think that Firefox is not working correctly and therefore prefer using IE 
instead.
Immagine the consequences if you are logged in your Internet Banking and don't 
logout using the bank's logout button.
Worse...immagine being in an Internet Cafe.....

Here is the dilemma:
READUCACTING PEOPLE ON CLICKING THE LOGOUT BUTTONS OF INTERNET SITES OR 
FOLLOWING HATED INTERNET EXPLORER LOGIC BY KILLING ALL SESSION REGARDLESS OF 
ANY STATUS?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Close a browser session and reopen it to find yourself still logged into the 
website you were previously at.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
KILL THE BROWSER SESSION AUTOMATICALLY
