Session cookies/PHP sessions.

When you first visit the site, it knows you haven't been here before, so it gives you a temporary cookie. On each other page load, it knows off that cookie that you've been here recently.

On exit, browsers delete the cookie. The cookies are also set to expire, usually after 2 hours.

I dunno what funky version of FF you're using, but it doesn't do that to me, even across different windows.
