Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 117222

(SeaMonkey :: Security, defect)

I open URL which use session. After when I close that window, the cookie still
exist while I don't close all mozilla applications! In Internet Explorer the
cookies still opened only for the child windows, but the outer windows couldn't
acces the session cookies. 
For example: 
- If I open a new IE browser (from "Start menu" or desktop) the another window's
session cookies couldn't accessable. But! If I open a new window from exist
browser's window (Ctrl+N, popup window, frames), the new window inherit the
session. 
- Another side: In Mozilla the new window allways inherited the session cookies
from all opened windows, don't seperate the sessions!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new browser-window (from Start menu) and Open any URL wich use session
and login to site.
2. Open another browser-window (from Start menu) and open another URL.
3. Close first window.
4. Open 3rd browser-window (from Start menu) and open the URL which use first
window.

Actual Results:  
In the 3rd browser-window the user still logged in to the site! In the internet
coffee-s (or "one computer for lot's people" style workplace, internet access
point, etc.) this is big security hole, because not enough to close used
browser-windows, must be close all mozzila application (mail, browser, calendar,
composer).

Expected Results:  
The "session-inherit" must work only the child-opened windows (ie. new tab,
popup windows, frames, iframes), but the "master-opened" windows (from start
menu) don't inherited the previously opened windows sessions.
