It's not very likely that the session variables gets mixed up, it's more likely that you mix up which session each window belongs to. I haven't yet tested exactly how IE 7 handles browser sessions. I know that using IE 6 you can open separate instances of the browser, and each instance is it's own session. You can open several windows from each instance, and each window in one instance belongs to the same session. Using firefox you can only open one instance (trying to open another will open a new window in the same instance), so all windows will be in the same session. The session id is stored as a temporary cookie in the browser instance. You can display the Session.SessionID value in the page during testing, so that you can track what session each window belongs to.
