181773 - Cannot log into password protected sites (Hotmail, Yahoo, & ThinkGeek)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 181440

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[Richard Hurt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021122
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021122

Whenever I try to log into Hotmail or ThinkGeek, it fails and puts me back at
the login screen.  At first I thought it was a problem with Hotmail, but then I
had the issue with ThinkGeek as well.  I know I have the correct password
because I can use iCab on the same computer to get into both accounts.  I could
only log into Yahoo! after several unsuccessful tries.

I think it might be a bug with the Cookies.  It looks like it logs in correctly
but then just boots me back to the login page.  This worked previously (2 weeks
ago or so) but broke when I installed 2002112208.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.hotmail.com (also fails with http://www.thinkgeek.com)
2. Try to log in (using any of the Passport options)
3. Profit!!  (sorry, couldn't resist :)
Actual Results:  
Nothing.  I was prompted to enter my userid/password again and again.  I tried
this 10 times with the same results.  I eventually got into My Yahoo! but I
don't know how.

Expected Results:  
Logged me in so that I could read my email (or place a ThinkGeek order)
