I have a basic question about Salesforce session: How can I logout my users automatically when they close the browser window?

I don't know of a way to do it with native pages. The only work around I can think of would be to make the timeout value really short (15 minutes). This of course adds a usability problem for your users if they leave a session inactive. – Daniel Hoechst Dec 12 '12 at 15:26
What if the user opens multiple tabs/windows? Do you log them out if they close just one of the tabs/windows? Is there any reliable way to know when they've closed all tabs/windows? Why do you want to log them out automatically? – tomlogic Dec 13 '12 at 6:25

Well, to log a user out you redirect them to /secur/logout.jsp ... however enforcing that mechanism would either have to be done via JavaScript or in theory you could also use a Browser Extension

I think if we talk about custom pages then by using JS this may be possible (that also need POC), but other than that it is quite impossible to do this with all native pages (home page component can help?).
