No, what I meant was:
Firefox might allow cookies for the current session only, but as what type of the cookies are being stored, I have no idea. I assumed that the board sofware might know the state of the cookies control and transmit session cookies instead of persistant cookies that will only be kept for the session only.
For the the subject of why are you being indentified as "undefined" instead of being "you are not logged in", I have no idea why this would happen.
In theory, this should not be happening since Firefox does allows all cookies to be kept as long as the current session is kept on, right? But somehow, either the board software rejected the setting and transmit different cookie types to you instead or Firefox itself might have purged some of the cookies as soon as it arrived. This is a question worth debating... but since I have very little knowledge of the inner workings of firefox, you will have to seek your answers elsewhere.
Sorry, I am just an average-joe user.

It is possible that right after you logged in, firefox considers the "current seesion" as being expired and thrown away old cookies. The new cookies that are sent by the board after you logged in might be the cookies to indentify that you have logged in but your user ID and such might have been stored in the "old cookies", which firefox has already purged them. So... to the board software, you are already logged in, but it just don't know who you are. Kind of funny, come to think of it.
