Firefox at it again?

My version of Firefox just went to 16.  Now it seems they have broken proper cookie handling once again.

I cannot get my cookies to expire correctly and I have to manually delete them to kill a session now.

This is true even though I entered the custom settings which are supposed to clear cookies as well as "Active Logins" when the browser closes.

Seems like this may just be a bug, but I thought I'd warn people that once again the expectation of logout upon browser close is currently non-functional in Firefox.

This is definitely an issue for us because we have to handle the kiosk and shared workstation use cases for important applications (such as a timecard system).

Regards,
Russ.
