424987 - Can't Stay Logged in on AMO

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 422257

This morning after I logged into AMO so I can check all it's RSS feeds in my feed reader (Brief), my feed reader shows the Sandbox RSS links turning back errors.  So I refresh the AMO homepage to find I've been logged out.

I try several times to log in and then check the AMO feeds only to be logged out a few seconds later (resulting in more errors for AMO's Sandbox feeds).  This leads me to think AMO's cookies are currently broken.  I've tried everything I could think of (except possibly waiting to see if this resolves on it's own).

I've refreshed, hard refreshed (Ctrl + F5), and even cache cleared and yet I can't stay logged in AMO long enough to check it's RSS feeds in it's feed reader.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into AMO.
2. Wait a few seconds and then refresh the page.
Actual Results:  
Upon refresh, you'll find yourself being automatically logged out.

Expected Results:  
You should be stilled logged in until you click log out.

I use two addons called Brief (RSS reader) and Reload All Live Bookmarks (reloads all Live Bookmarks at once).  After logging into AMO, I reload all Live Bookmarks and then check all AMO feeds in Brief.

Thanks for letting us know. Somebody else filed this bug recently (bug 422257) and it is currently in the process of being fixed.
