I'm a little fuzzy on recommended safe browsing habits.

When I visit banking sites they always recommend closing your browser when you're done for security purposes. I generally have lots of unrelated tabs open on my browser. Is it unsafe to have those tabs open when I go to the banking site? Does closing the browser and reopening it (after the banking session) flush out the data even when all those tabs remain open?
