sounds like the 2 browsers were sharing the same session id. This can for example happen in IE if you open the seconf browser from the first by using File->New->Window off the first browser's menu. To start 2 browsers with different session ids, start both of them separately from the start menu / command line / double clicking short -cut / etc.
