In my website I change a cookie value and a cookie lifetime on POST request. After the cookie is changed my website reloads the page (header: Location {url}). Then if a user will close browser and reopen it the cookie will have the value that was before changing.

Here is a link with php example on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28691649/why-this-cookie-changes-value-after-browser-reopening

Here is php code: ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 86400); session_regenerate_id(true); 

   header('Location: http://localhost/sessiontest/');
   return;

} print_r($_COOKIE); ?>

<form method="post" action=""> <input type="text" name="test"> <input type="submit"> </form>

You may have to change the defaults for cookie storage. For more details:

Is it a temp solution? I can't say all my users to change browser's settings. This error occurs only in firefox. In chrome browser it works fine. I think that it is incorrect behavior in firefox. Because of this error users are logged out after browser's reopening.
