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

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.
