This is from the code that generates browser ids:

    """ Returns 19-character string browser id
    'AAAAAAAABBBBBBBB'
    where:

    A == leading-0-padded 8-char string-rep'd random integer
    B == modified base64-encoded 11-char timestamp

    To be URL-compatible, base64 encoding is modified as follows:
      '=' end-padding is stripped off
      '+' is translated to '-'
      '/' is translated to '.'

    An example is: 89972317A0C3EHnUi90w
    """

You can call a function in Products.Sessions.BrowserIdManager named
getNewBrowserId to get a new browser id.

It is not possible to possess different sessions from different browser
windows unless you manage the browser id manually in each window.
