Question...Do you know if Mozilla runs a browser instance that might handle the process after one of the browser windows is closed? Right now the situation is that IE closes the session when the window that opened it closes. I have a site that is authenticated and then runs sessions on the authenticated user. If you close the browser window and open another one, you are prompted for the login and password and have your new identity/session. On Mozilla if I close the window actively on the site and have other windows up on other sites I can open another Mozilla instance and return to the site and it still has my session open and identity. I have to close every Mozilla instance for the session to close. If Mozilla is run by one central process I would think maybe it could do this onwindowclose behaviour? Maybe a good question for the Javascript list but since it sounds like you guys have seen this tried before maybe you already know.

Someone had tried it before and struggled with it. But that is a good advice, thanks for jumping in. "Tamas Arpad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
