I am observing two FireFoxes running on same Windows-7 computer to be sharing same cookies, using JavaScript.
How do two instances of Chrome, IE, etc behave?
Can a browser be forced to allocate its own, private cookie memory?
Yes. Firefox uses user profiles. As long as the instances are using the same profile, cookies will be shared. Same goes for Chrome. I am not sure about IE profiles, though (and whether it even has them).
