Servelet Spec requires the session cookie to be JSESSIONID.
If you launch two instances of IE, it should keep track of a session ID for each instance. That should let you do what you want.
Mozilla just keeps one session ID, even with two instances.
You have to be careful about this. IE can launch new windows in the same process or as a different process. If it launches them in the same process, then you will share the same session, just like you observe in Mozilla. If you have it set up to launch windows in a separate process, then you will have distinct session id's in each window. This isn't a matter of IE doing something right and Mozilla doing something wrong. In fact, they are both providing exactly the same behavior, except that IE can be configured to launch windows in a separate process and Mozilla always uses the same process.
