? Thanks, Paul, but I fear I don't (quite) understand. Are you saying that I have to start FF with command line options in order to be able to create different session IDs for different tabs? Even if that should be so, I can hardly communicate this information to all our clients and ask them to start their FF with those options (let alone those clients that are using different browsers, like IE 8 for example).
Isn't there a way of getting different session IDs for different tabs? I have googled some more and found a hint on customizing the apache tomcat session manager... Should I look more deeply into that topic? Sounds a little daunting...
