Comment (by michael):

 Some peripheral but relevant information follows.

 By the way, what this technically means is that we've changed the Mozilla
 default preference:

 {{{
   name: network.cookie.cookieBehavior
   value: 0
 }}}

 ...to:

 {{{
   name: network.cookie.cookieBehavior
   value: 1
 }}}

 As with all preferences, this is determined by parsing ''prefs.js'' (or
 manually given in the URL bar 'about:config'.)
 ----
 Cookie preferences are documented [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Cookies_Preferences_in_Mozilla/ in Dan Witte's Mozilla developer
 doc].
