The problem with "Allow Session" cookies for IW is because when you login, the cookie is forwarded to Firefox, but after the login, the forum will refresh the page, therefore to Firefox or other browser, this might mean that you are no longer viewing the "current page". As such, the previous session cookies are expired and promptly deleted.

This might happen if you select cookies preference to "allow session only" for IE too.

BTW... there is no problem with Firefox. It is a matter of getting to the right setting. Firefox is much much more stable and secure then IE. In my very very honest opinion.

Everytime you post a new post, edit your post or post a new topic, or maybe just by simply viewing any topic, IW will try to update/modify your current stored cookie(s). If you only allow session cookie(s), the cookie(s) will not be updated. As such, you are having the old cookie(s) and the board software might reject it or the browser might simply think that you no longer have any cookie(s) stored for the current page or session.
