309623 - Sharing session cookies among separate browser instances

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 117222

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Zavedeev]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

In my case, a few Firefox instances sending same 'JSessionID' cookie parameter 
value to Tomcat Web Server. As a result of this behavior, each browser instance 
interact with same http-session (from a single computer). 

At the same time, MS Internet Explorer and Opera not sharing session-cookies.

My Tomcat Web Server version is 5.0.27

I'm not sure exactly, but it seems like bug.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a Firefox browser, and type in navigation bar web-application url 
(http://my-server/test-app/) - server create a http-session and setup 
JSessionID cookie value.

2. Start one more Firefox browser instance, and type same url (http://my-
server/test-app/) again - this new browser instance sending JSessionID value, 
that use first browser, and server don't create new session.



Actual Results:  
As I typed above, each browser instance interact with same http-session. This 
fact prevents normal user interaction with one web application (using two or 
more Firefox browser instances at same time).



Expected Results:  
In my opinion browser should not send JSessionID cookie value assigned for 
another instance.
