I have Javascript disabled and the page still loads in Firefox.

Could it have anything to do with using an HttpOnly cookie?

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 20:56:50 GMT
....
Set-Cookie: ASP.NET_SessionId=kyj2do654xkl2auwhtsjrvyo; path=/; HttpOnly
....

From http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

When TRUE the cookie will be made accessible only through the HTTP
protocol. This means that the cookie won't be accessible by scripting
languages, such as JavaScript. It has been suggested that this setting
can effectively help to reduce identity theft through XSS attacks
(although it is not supported by all browsers), but that claim is often
disputed. Added in PHP 5.2.0. TRUE or FALSE
