A session is maintained by passing values between the web server and a browser. These values are the CFID and CFTOKEN. A common way to pass this information is via cookies, which is why multiple browsers share the same session (because they share the same cookie). If you want to allow multiple browser windows to run different sessions, I believe that you'd have to _not_ pass the CFID and CFTOKEN via cookies. That means that the setClientCookies attribute of the <cfapplication> tag should be set to "No", and that you'd have to make sure that the CFID and CFTOKEN are always passed to the browser (generally via form fields and on the URL). This can be a bit of a hassle, but people do it all the time when they need to maintain state and cannot rely on the client having cookies turned on.
To allow the user to start a new session, you just need to create a link to a page in your site that _doesn't_ pass the CFID/CFTOKEN. When that new page is sent to the browser, it will have a new CFID/CFTOKEN combination, and hence a new session.
