First of all it's called "phishing" not "phising". It is when a 'hacker' tells you to go on a website which is a fake version of another website. If you log in it will send the 'hacker' your login details.

Cookie stealing is a completely different thing and can't be done effectivly without a vulnerability in the website it's targeting, whereas phishing can be done no matter how secure the website is.

You're safe if you didn't type anything in. You don't need to restart. Once you've closed the fake window you can't give the phisher your details unless you reopen it.
