It's not clear what you mean by "leaving my browser", but if you mean
exiting it, the server can't know when that happens -- that is the
nature of the HTTP communication. So that along won't cause session
invalidation. That can only be brought about two ways (I believe), an
explicit invalidation or a timeout. So, you probably want to set the
session timeout to something that makes sense for your application.
