At the website mentioned above (christianwebboard.com/invision) I recently
changed my password for more protection.  Now, I log in, and Firefox logs me out
after I click on any link, refresh, or close the browser.  I tried clearing my
cookies and my cache, but this does not work. A complete "clear all" does not
work either.  Internet Explorer will keep me logged in, however.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new account by clicking on Register
2. After making a fake account with a phoney email address if nessisary, click OK
3. When you are redirected, below the CWB banner is your name, along with "Log
Out",My Controls, etc.
4. Click Refresh
Actual Results:  
the section below the banner returns to the screen a user will see in step 1.

Expected Results:  
The section below the banner should not have changed

Clearing security flag, not an exploit.

WFM, creating an account, then changing its password. Is it possible you
accidentally blocked that site from setting cookies, or blocked the session
cookie from being reset when you cleared your cookies? You can check this by
going into the options dialog, clicking on "Privacy" and opening the Cookies
section. Click the "Exceptions" button and see if the site is set to Block cookies.
