[Bug 144560] Re: doesn't prompt for certificate

[Oscar]

Ah, I understand now. I thought a "session" was the "login-session" to
the page that I was trying to access. That's what the confusion comes
from.
I didn't think a session was the current running firefox process. I
still think the wording of the button is somewhat unfortunate.
Thanks for the explanation.
