My WinXP Firefox upgraded this morning to 3.6.15 and my
application is broken.
When someone logs in the first thing I do is check to see if
there is a location cookie set, if so the login proceeds.
If not, I redirect to a page that asks for the person's office
number and extension.
This worked fine until the upgrade (same in XP and Ubuntu) and
now it appears that either the cookie is not being set or is not
being read.
Before I dig in, I thought I would pick the brains of you all and
get suggestions.

before I get yelled and screamed at: the application is written
in PHP. I know this is a mozilla question, but all the debugging
will be done in PHP.

I see a Mozilla question - but what is your PHP question?
How the debugging is being done is immaterial. If you have a problem
with Mozilla, you should be asking in Mozilla support. They know their
product better than anyone else.

Well, it turned out to be a PHP issue. Actually a PHP
programming issue. Actually a programming failure issue.
Coincident with the installation of Firefox 3.6.15 I cleared the
cookies, and
I had manually set a cookie while I was testing and the
application failed to set the cookie but I was unaware of that
because of the test cookie.
So, now I have had the opportunity to fix the application so it
now correctly sets the cookie and all is well.
