I don't have an answer but I had a similar problem yesterday. I logged
into the site that I'm building. I was logged out with each page. I
could not surf from one page to another, I was constantly kicked out.
The site uses sessions. Nothing had changed from the day before. I was
using FireFox. My browser was set to accept cookies. My browser was not
working with the session info. My co-worker, sitting right next to me,
using the same version of FireFox, was having no trouble with the site.


Today I logged back in. The problem was gone. The session-handling code
has not been changed. I'm using the same computer, the same FireFox
browser. Yesterday it did not work, today it worked as well as my co
workers.

Odd, to say the least.
