I have a problem in PHP session handling. when I open my website in
two or more tabs in Firefox, it is using
the same session, so the another
tab is just a copy of the previous tab. What i do in one will affect
the another and vice-versa. Even if i open Firefox again, it will use
the same session of the previous session. But that is not what I need
mostly of time, specially when i want to copy information from one
place to another in my web application. This problem does not exists
in IE!! 

Please solve this problem as soon as possible.

thank u

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.first.php

<?session_start();

$_SESSION['var1'] = rand(2,8);
print("<html><body><form name='payonline' method='post' action='second.php'");
print("<input type='hidden' name='MD' value='P'>");
print("<input type='hidden' name='CG' value='Y'>");
print("<input type='submit' value='Pay Now!'>");
print("</form>");
print("</body></html>");

?>

second.php

<?session_start();
print($_SESSION['var1']);
?>

first open the first.php in one tab and click on submit button, the second.php
file will display the value of var1 then open a new tab/window and access the
first.php, again click on submit button will show the vale of 'var1'. Now if
you  reload the second.php in first tab u can see that the value has been
changed to second tabs value.This is a big problem when doing some online
transaction.

Expected Results:  
unique sessions for each tabs/windows
I don't see where your code snippets here use cookies, but if so, this is likely bug 117222.

PHP uses cookies to determine, what set of values are needed for $_SESSION.
