Multiple Tabs and Sessions issue in Ruby on Rails

Question

I've an application which I am deploying as Facebook application also.

Problem is when I am logged as user1 on my app via Facebook, and try to login from other tab of same browser, session of user2 overrides session of user1.

Is there any possible way to stop session sharing in multiple tabs in rails2? Session storage is CookieStore.

Answer 1

You will need to use two different browsers - one for each session - as per-tab authentication is not supported in any browser I know of.

Answer 2

Apparently IE8 has builtin support for this while for Firefox/Chrome you may be able to get a plugin. Checkout this post and see if any of the options are useful https://superuser.com/questions/264138/firefox-google-chrome-plugin-to-enable-multi-session-browsing
