Using french firefox 3.6b3/4 on french Windows Seven/XP, OpenVPN ALS (formely adito) "agent" loads and fails because the session cookie (JESSIONID) is being deleted by firefox when the applet is launched.
Same behavior on Windows XP with firefox 3.6b4
Java version 6.0.170.4
The same version works wells with firefox 3.5 and IE8

This bug exists with old releases of adito 0.9.1 and recent developpement builds.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Adito 0.9.1 (or more recent OpenVPN ALS version) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn-als/
2. Log in as administrator
3. Click "Launch Adito Agent"
Actual Results:  
Java Agent starts and displays "Error: No session"
In firebug : The JESSIONID cookie value changes when the agent is launching

Expected Results:  
Java agent should start and communicate with adito server.
In firebug : The JESSIONID cookie value remains the same

Adito/OpenVPN-ALS is a Web/Java based SSL VPN Server, released under GPL.
I didn't contact developpers since this bug appeared only with firefox betas.
Not tested under Linux.
I couldn't find hosted adito demos. I could eventually configure one for testing purposes.
