Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Opening a website located at http://
The result is logins etc. which require a cookie to work, do not work.
The exact same website, when opened using:
http://
http://
http://
has its cookies saved and loaded properly by Firefox. For some reason Firefox is "blocking" localhost or any hostname without dot.
I have empty cookie exceptions list on my Firefox preferences. Adding "localhost" and setting it as "enable" (always accept) does not work.
This only happens on Firefox. Using Konqueror, text-mode ELinks, to browse the site (in all 4 URL variants) works properly (with regard to cookies).
____
For reference, currently my /etc/hosts is:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 caliva
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Thank you very much for reporting your problem. It would be very helpful if you could provide a copy of the script which doesnt work as expected (something.php for example). Can you also please provide the detailed package version of firefox you've installed?
