While experimenting with session I noticed the following. If I call a certain servlet from Firefox, we have a sessionid and let's say its value is 1. If I call the same Servlet from a new IE window, I get a new sessionid ='2'. If I then open the same again in new Firefox window, the sessionid was the same as the first call; '1'. However, everytime I open a new IE window, I get a new sessionid value, unlike FireFox. What is the reason for such an inconsistency?
