When browsing PKI-enabled websites, the session will timeout so ofter. To re-enable your session in Internet Explorer your Clear SSL state by going to Tools>Internet Options>Content(tab)>Clear SSL State. When this option is used, I use my Common Access Card to re-access the site.

It used to be you could do "tools | start private browsing" then stop it and reload the page and Firefox would clear the SSL state.

In version 21 and above this appears to be missing? Is there any way to do this?

You are using a Very old version of Firefox. Can you go to Mozilla.org to update the program?
