Oct,

      Try setting the cookie to a more reasonable second count (1 day) and
see if that resolves your issue.  All of the browsers handle extended
cookies a bit differently and while one setting may work on IE, the smae
may cause a nocookie on firefox.  I really believe your problem is one of
cookie expiration (or content length) and not one where you have to mess
around setting the domain again (that problem is solved for you -- stop
looking for zebras).
