That's correct. Although I think that Firefox may share it's sessions across all 
browsers as well as tabs.

It's been a while since I've fought with this issue so it may have
changed.

With MSIE, try opening a new browser instance by ctl+n or by clicking
file->new.  The two instances will be sharing the same session cookie.

Open a new instance by clicking Start->programs->MSIE. This instance
will have it's own session.

Closing all browsers should kill all sessions.  I don't believe you need
to actively clear caches to kill a session cookie.
