Joe,

Thanks for the clarification. And I tested my accounts at Yahoo and Google and confirmed that the login screen in both cases is bypassed when the applications are opened from new Firefox windows. And I'm not sure why Yahoo and Google allowed that.

I wrote a Portal that requires a login, and when a user tries to access the portal from a new Firefox window, I force a new login, rather than accepting that the user is already logged in, through a different window. So I'd suggest doing something like that for security purposes; Have the application control how and when a session is created, and expired.

Regarding the discussion surrounding the "bug" report, I guess I just read it differently than you. It appeared to me that the guys from Mozilla were indeed stumped by it, and responded in kind after they felt they had taken enough abuse.

Nathan.
