Ah, I understand now. I thought a session was the login-session to
the page that I was trying to access. That's what the confusion comes
from.
I didn't think a session was the current running firefox process. I
still think the wording of the button is somewhat unfortunate.
Thanks for the explanation.

The way I see it the option Always ask should _always ask_ what
certificate to use each and every time I try to log into the site.
That is not the way FF works and not what the button suggests. Firefox
works with sessions. It always asks *for every session*. You can
easily start a new session by restarting FF as you already found out.
What you expect would be a confirmation for every connection. For a
single page with say 15 elements, that means 15 (!) confirmations. I
don't think anybody in their right mind would seriously expect or desire
this behaviour.
Closing, I don't think anybody will or should put effort into changing
the current behaviour.
