 The gmail login page is sometimes claiming that cookies are disabled even
 when they are not.

 This issue is caused by the hidden setting:
 extensions.torbutton.xfer_google_cookies.

 This setting was introduced to reduce the number of captchas that google
 presented, so that you would only have to solve a captcha once, instead of
 once per country code domain.

 We need to investigate exactly why this cookie transfer is now breaking
 the login process. Something must have changed with the cookie
 names/origins/etc.
