Bug Description

This happened with the facebook webapp, but it's an issue which could happen with any webapp which integrates with Online Accounts: at some point (after weeks of using the webapp), everytime the user opens the webapp he's asked to login again.

This happens because the cookies in Online Accounts have expired, and even after the user has successfully logged into the webapp, the webapp cookies are being overwritten by the cookies copied over from OA (which are still the expired ones).
