As <info at daniel-marschall dot de> points out, firefox will prepend a period (full-stop) to
the domain value if the period is not already present.
This is because firefox expects the domain parameter value, if present, to be a domain name and not
a host name.
So using setcookie() with a domain value of www.example.com is not correct if www is a host name.
If you want to restrict the cookie to a single host, supply the domain parameter as an empty string,
for example (note the rightmost parameter):
<?php
setcookie("TestCookie", "SomeValue", time()+3600, "/~rasmus/",
"");
?>
