I think you will find that the session is shared between different Windows in IE as well. So if the user navigates File -> New -> Window, the session is shared between the two windows because IE uses the same process to open up the window. I'm guessing
the same thing is happening with the tabs.
In short, the answer is, there isn't any way of creating a brand new session with each new tab or window. The only way is by opening a new instance of IE each time but this can't be done programatically from the server.
All I can suggest is to look into using ViewState and Query Strings to store data that should be unique. Use session only for information that can be shared (such as storing the windows login of a user).
