With the availability of Mozilla extending the browser is nowdays a realistic alternative if the "vendor provided" browser lacks functions needed, which boils down to one of the corner stones of free software. There is no session between Squid and the browser. The only login type session that exists is within the browser. There is very little the proxy can do to influence this. An alternative is as has been discussed recently to not use HTTP proxy authentication and perform the authentication by other means, for example a web form which authenticates the users station (IP address) to the proxy for a certain period of time.
