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.
