Hi,

To wrap up this issue, this behavior is a consequence of how modern browsers 
implement the "remember open tabs" feature.
By design they assume that users would like to end up with their tabs in the 
same state as they left them when the browser was shut down, which is only 
possible if they actually persist the temporary session cookies. Normally these 
kind of cookies are supposed to be deleted when the browser is shutdown.

Most users will expect this behavior and be happy with it, and those who
don't want it should look at the configuration options of their browser
to see if the "cookie policy" can be further fine-tuned. As a last
resort, turning off the "remember open tabs" feature will do the trick.

This is out of the control of OpenERP, so I will mark this issue as
"Won't fix", which here means "Can't fix".

As further reference:
- Firefox: Bugzilla issue #443354 discusses this behavior at length for Firefox 
- currently closed as "Won't Fix", as this is by design
- Google Chrome: this support question explains that there is a setting to 
control this feature, and force a cleanup of session data upon browser 
shutdown: 
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=138f3fef11b3f52e&hl=en

Finally, keep in mind that because session data cleanup depends on the
goodwill of the browser, there are many cases where it will not happen
as you expect: browser crash, power failure, etc.. and may leave session
data lying around on the computer.

Title:
  no login necessary after reboot

Status in OpenERP Web:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I left firefox open and requested a reboot  on OpenSuSE 11.4
  after login into KDE session Firefox was automaitcally restored  and it was 
possible to continue without a new openerp login

  I am not sure if this is a feature or a security issue
  IMHO after a reboot a new login into OpenERP should be necessary
