Description Ryan Lane 2012-05-31 12:10:26 UTC 
If I have two browsers open, like firefox and chrome, and I log in to MediaWiki from both, and ask to have my session remembered, the first token is invalidated by the second. So, when I close and reopen the first browser, I'm no longer logged in.
Comment 1 Tyler Romeo 2012-08-03 13:46:00 UTC 
Just to clear things up, is this what you're doing:
1) Open Firefox.
2) Login to MediaWiki with "Remember me" checked.
3) Open Chrome.
4) Login to MediaWiki with "Remember me" checked.
5) Close and re-open Firefox.
Expected Result: Still logged in on Firefox.
Actual Result: No longer logged in.

I want to make sure because with those steps I cannot seem to reproduce this bug.
Comment 2 Ryan Lane 2012-12-30 21:21:45 UTC 
Yes, this is the bug I'm seeing, and I'm really surprised you aren't. When you log in with chrome, it overwrites the long-lived token in your user row. I don't see how it's possible for firefox to continue to work when you close and reopen it.
Comment 3 Tyler Romeo 2013-01-25 22:19:30 UTC 
Can somebody else confirm this, because I cannot reproduce it on any OS.
Comment 4 Tyler Romeo 2013-02-11 09:39:16 UTC 
Going to close as WORKSFORME since I can't reproduce nor can I find any place in the code that would cause this problem. If somebody else can reproduce it can always be re-opened.
