[Edoardo Tirtarahardja]

Build ID: 20121024073032

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Open Cookie window, 'Tools\Options\Privacy\Show Cookies...'.
2.  Type in search term 'getpersonas'.
3.  Click 'Remove All Cookies' and close the Cookie window.
4.  Go to 'www.getpersonas.com', check 'Remember me' and login.
5.  Open the Cookie window again and type in search term 'getpersonas'.
6.  Verify that the 'PERSONA_USER' cookie is set to expire for 1 year.
7.  Verify that the cookie setting in 'Tools\Options\Privacy' pane is set to be kept
    until it expire.
8.  Close the firefox and wait for 24 hours.
9.  Open the Cookie window again and type in search term 'getpersonas'.
10. Verify that the 'PERSONA_USER' cookie has been deleted.
11. Go to 'www.getpersonas.com' and verify that it has been logged out.



Actual results:

Even though 'www.getpersonas.com' set the 'PERSONA_USER' cookie to expire in 1 year, but after 24 hours firefox delete the cookie anyway, causing the user to be logged out and has to re-login every day.


Expected results:

If the user set the cookie setting to be kept until its expiry, then firefox should honor that and not delete cookie that has not expired.

I'm not able to reproduce this issue. We have several tests about expiration time. We can resolve this bug as invalid.
