That's the traditional and in fact desired behaviour. When your user
agent process exits it discards HTTP Cookies without an expiration
date (very much in line with RFC2109). Or it keeps them around but
doesn't restore them automatically.

Mozilla Firefox has a couple of options influencing this, check the
archives (mostly in threads labelled "logout" and "firefox").

Either way, it's all in your HTTP User Agent, Shibboleth has nothing
to do with it.
