User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Firefox browsers share session information.  That is, any tab or window will
access the same session data as any other tab or window.

The following example JSP code can be used to test this.

Example code:
<!--********************-->
<%@ page language="java" 
contentType="text/html; 
charset=ISO-8859-1" 
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"
%>
<html>
<body>
<%=session.getId()%>
</body>
</html>
<!--********************-->

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Use the example code given in the 'Details' section to create a JSP file
2.  Put the JSP file in the appropriate directory of an application server (for
example, Tomcat)
3.  Access the JSP file from the application server using multiple Firefox
windows and tabs
4.  Observe that the session ID is the same in all windows.

Actual Results:  
All windows and tabs displayed identical session ID information

Expected Results:  
Each window and tab should have a unique session and session ID

This also occurs in the newest mozilla suite.

That's just how Netscape/Mozila/Firefox works. IE is different.
