This has always been my understanding of session cookies and has served me well in the past. The problem I have is with browsers like IE which never really "closed" per se (at least so you were confident) and as such you were never really sure what it meant. I've always wondered why banks etc. always say "for security reasons please close this window".... I always asked myself "why, what difference does closing a window make???". If you want my sessions to really end when you close the last window/tab on a site in Firefox I'm sure there are extensions to do that.
