well, in many (most?) cases, sessions are stored in cookies. which means the session will persist as long as the cookie persists (which can be after the browser closes).
if you're not using cookies, you can pass CFID and CFTOKEN values in URL strings...and in that case, yes, the session would end on browser close (because when the user opens the browser and returns to the site, it's unlikely that the URL vars will exist). you can also force the session to end when the browser closes if using cookies...it's a couple of lines of code (don't have them handy, but i can track 'em down easily enough) if this is the behaviour that you're after.
