Notice that there is no way to see a list of orders being worked
on or switch between them. What you are imagining should
work, ie different orders in different windows, would only be
the case (as Anil mentioned) if those different windows used
different sessions... which they don't. To get a different
session you must have a different user, a different browser, or
find some place in the applications where the jsessionid is
lost from one page to another (which WOULD be a bug).
This is something special to Firefox. With Chrome you don't have
this "issue", any tabs is a session. Actually I'm still using
FF3 since there is so much more with plugins than this very
specific feature of Chrome.
Actually I'd guess this is an issue with all browsers except
Chrome. One of the unique "features" of Chrome is that every window
is actually a separate running instance of the program (was
advertised as something to avoid a problem in one window bringing
down others), and I guess this would be a side-effect of that.
AFAIK there aren't any other browsers that are that way.
Something to note also, I don't know for other browsers, but if you
open several instances of Firefox using the same profile (in
different windows as opposed to tabs in the same window) Firefox
does not open another session.
Actually Firefox used only one process for all its windows. It's a
feature some softwares allow you to choose or not (only 1
instance) Firefox forces it. You can change but AFAIK not from
inside Firefox (using about:config)
If interested Google for "allow firefox multi instances"
Yes that is the traditional behavior for Firefox. What about other
browsers like IE, Opera, Safari, etc?
What I'm saying is that this isn't just the behavior for Firefox, all
browsers except Chrome have historically behaved this way and it is
only recently that any of them even considered doing something
different.
