273966 - I remain logged in even after clicking "log off" and closing tab when using Microsoft Outlook Web Access

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 117222

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[cutefly]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

After exiting this online email site by clicking "log off", and after closing
the tab, I remain logged in when I re-enter the site's address.  This is my
fault since I don't close and restart the browser, as is suggested: "To complete
the log off process and prevent other users from opening your mailbox, you must
close all browser windows and exit the browser application."  Restarting Firefox
indeed does log me out entirely. However, I find this a rather idiotic approach
- sorry about that, but I can't see why this Microsoft system wants me to close
every web page and then restart all over again.  I don't mind remaining logged
in, but I would like to be able to log out entirely without exiting Firefox.  If
you guys can't do anything about it, no problemo (I already think it's Bill's
fault anyway). It is the same in IE. I just thought that perhaps it indicates a
problem I can't see.  Hope this doesn't prove to be a waste of time, but I
didn't see it mentioned in previous posts.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ehm, you need to log in first (no problem there)
2. Once you log out, you see a screen stating "To complete the log off process
and prevent other users from opening your mailbox, you must close all browser
windows and exit the browser application."
3. Clicking "close", the button underneatht this text, does nothing.
4. Closing the tab and entering the url in a new tab shows that I haven't been
logged out at all.
5. Closing and restarting Firefox shows I have been properly logged out.

Actual Results:  
Step 2: I exit the Microsoft Outlook Wab Access (MOWA) application.
Step 3: clicking "close" does nothing (it is a javascript function) but that's
no real issue
Step 4: closing the tab does not log me out entirely. Opening a new tab takes e
directly to the contents of my online mailbox.


Expected Results:  
Step 4: I expected not to be taken directly to my mailbox. I would expect to
first see the login-dialog first.
(IE does the same thing)
