The META tags should not have an effect on cookies. Firefox would not be the one that expires your session, Tomcat would. Do you have a session timeout specified in your application?

It seems for some reason that at then end of loading each JSP firefox expires my session. I use some meta tags (<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="No-Cache">, <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="No-Cache">, <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">) and also set the corresponding header values using response.setHeader but even if I remove them nothing changes.
