Rik,

Here are the headers from FF using LiveHTTPHeaders. There are some test
cookies here I created to insure that cookies were working which are in both
IE7 and FF.

Referer: http://www.showmyhorse.com/index.php
Cookie: PHPSESSID=dcfcac06af2f4b5839d553d99d709b6d;
cookie[three]=cookiethree; cookie[two]=cookietwo; cookie[one]=cookieone
