So you're asking the browser to create a cookie which should have
expired an hour ago. When one already exists. While this is documented
in the set_cookie() function page as way of achieving the desired
result, it strikes me as an ugly hack. I think a better way to solve
this would be to set a cookie which expires in the future with a value
indicating that it no longer references a valid server-side state.
If you can find something in the HTTP RFCs which says this should
work, then by all means raise it as a bug with the FireFox developers.
