Would appreciate anyone's insight into the following
problem. When multiple browser sessions are open, one
using a Java plug-in to access/log into an application,
closing that browser does not end the session completely
and cause the plug-in to close. The existing other browser
sessions can be used to access the application without
logging in, just by visiting the same url, essentially as
if it were the original session where the plug-in was used.

Many thanks for any leads!

That's how HTTP sessions work!
