Details

Cookies seem to have broken in the last day. They seem to work okay for the
current session but are not persistent the next time you start up. There are a
couple easy ways to reproduce this:

1. goto http://bugzilla.mozilla.org
2. click on enter bug link and then browser
3. login with your bugzilla ID
4. shutdown and re-start apprunner
5. repeat steps 1 and 2

Results: you will be asked again to login. A cookie should have been set and
read in so you don't have to do this.

You can try this with a My Netscape account also. The cookies stays around for
the session but goes away the next time you start-up, and you have to re-login.

This has been tested on linux and windows. On linux it doesn't even look like a
cookies.txt file is being generated.

My fault.  I did a bad fix for 14889 which I just undid.  Involved backing off
my changes to xpfe/bootstrap/nsAppRunner.cpp.
