Ive been trying to find out why when i create a cookie firefox does not kill my
cookie when i close my browser (im using FF v
3.0.5).
In theory if one does not set the expiry param in cfcookie tag the cookie
should expire once i close my browser. This seems the case on many browsers
except Firefox. I realise FF has an option which one is supposed to check so
"private" data is cleared when browser is closed, but this is not a default
settings. Regardless to that in FF settings > Privacy > cookie panel I have the
setting checked on, ?accept cookies from sites?, ?accept third-party cookies?
and ?keep until they expire?. This tells me my cookie will die when they need
to depending on the settings they have been given, but this never happens.
In my mind this leaves a security issue, if one does not change their default
"clear my private data" setting and does not logout from a site properly, it
will leaves their account open for any other person who goes to the same site.
For example, this site and many others sites, I didn?t check ?remember me?
option when I logged in however, if I close my FF browser (but not logout) and
reopen it, I?m already logged in!
Id appreciate any help in regards to how I can get the same behaviour to work
on FF without depending on one changing their browser settings.
