Is it a webmail site hosted by (e.g.) an ISP? It could well
be that they time you out after a certain time (e.g. 1 hour)
of inactivity.

In that case, it would be nothing to do with your browser.
You would have been silently logged-out, while your browser
would still be displaying the logged-in page. Then, when you
try to log out, there's nothing there to log-out from.

(Just a guess).
