I'm a total newbie when it comes to these issues, but it seems to me that Firefox behaves in the very same manner. It's not limited to PHP sessions either. It's always been my experience on any website that requires authentication, including the likes of Google Mail, etc. When I want to run multiple sessions for different GMail accounts, for example, I just create a different user profile in Firefox. It'd make sense for things to run this way, I think. After all, I'd find it quite confusing if I log into Google Docs, open a document (by default, it opens in a new tab) and I had to log in yet again to be able to edit it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
