You can't reconnect to a previous session if you close a browser and reopen it: when you open a website the new browser instance will get a new session, and there is no mechanism for storing a Session ID and reconnecting to that instead.

If you want a user to remain logged in over a browser close, you need to store the relevant info in a Cookie and retrieve it when he next connects.
