No. A session means state, both at the server and at the client.
(Well, actually the Shibboleth IDP can recreate the server state from
the data the client sent, but that's the inverse/opposite of your

No, because Chrome does not share state (e.g. Cookie storage or HTML5
Local Storage) with Firefox.
