Subject: Gmail anomaly

Yep, something is awry with Firefox's cookie management.  it pisses me
off.  I disconnect from a site (close the browser), but the next time
I open FF,  all my cookies are acting as if they are still live.

The Maxthon add-on for IE does the same thing

Its annoying as hell when you are testing web apps.
