Details
A "deleted" cookie, that is one which has been axed with a zero-length value and
an expiration date in the past, are retained in IE's cookie files. They have
zero-length values and expiration dates way in the future (2035 AD, or something
like that). Mozilla completely removes such cookies from its persistent cookie
store. The trident profile migration extension doesn't take this into account.
It should just skip any cookie with no value.
Actually it's worse than I just described. A zero-length field such as the value
will cause a frameshift error in the overly helpful, any line-ending format,
scanning code. All following cookies are trashed. These problems are fixed with
the combined patch in bug 222343.
