When a user has two tabs open to the same web site, but tabs use different login credentials, user sessions get reset on both tabs. Example is on www.thetravelauthority.com

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create two user accounts (user1@example.com, user2@example.com on www.thetravelauthority.com
2.start a browser, go to the site and log in with user1@example.com
3.create new tab, go to the site above and log in with user@example.com
Actual Results:  
second user is logged in, and the first user takes over the credentials of the second account

Expected Results:  
each tab should have its own separate session

This is not only related to the logins to the same site, but also works on sites using the same application or authentication mechanism. (try www.takeorf.com in combination with www.thetravelauthority.com)
