I am new to this cookie-cutting business, but that's my understanding, yes
(well, now, after puzzling over this bug for hours) --my testing definitely
bears this out. The fix was dirt simple; just add this to
setPermanentCookie() :
cookie.setPath('/')
I think a better solution would have been to use the UriRoot() to restrict
it to WK only, but I didn't test that.
I guess this needs to be added to the Wiki too (can I do that or is it
restricted?)...
Thanks for the input. I am starting to really like Mozilla :-)
