Firefox 3 was ignoring a cookie being set by an application running on localhost. The Safari 4 Beta on the same machine had no problems whatsoever.

Using Firebug’s console to set the cookie using the Javascript console, the problem was isolated to the domain of the cookie. Removing the domain specifier (‘localhost’) fixed the problem. Using the mDNS name of localhost also works. Why this is an issue for Firefox, and Firefox only, I don’t know.

Feeling a little crazy last night, I baked some chocolate chip cookies—with whole wheat flour. Conclusion: they taste good, though not as good as a batch with all-purpose flour. However, I think that the whole wheat flavour would go really well with raisin-based cookies, and will be making some whole wheat oatmeal raisin in the future.

Note: Considering how much sugar is in the cookies, there’s really no reason to do this substitution for health reasons.
