If I set login.domain.com as top sites shortcut and login and browse the site and later on come back to Home page and select the shortcut again I get the login page instead of it redirecting me to logged in page. All other browsers correctly set the cookies with shortcuts but firefox does not.

Hi intseas, Are you clearing Cookies & Site Data when Firefox closes?

Or, are you using a Private Browsing window or are in permanent Private Browsing mode?

No I am not clearing any cookies and you dont even have to close the browser to test it. Login and you are set, press the home button and select the shortcut and you are at the login page again.

Test it with < ? php if(isset($_COOKIE['login'])) { header("Location: success.php"); exit; }

I'm not very familiar with scripts, but... if ?

What if it isn't?

Are you blocking persistent storage? Are you certain that the site is even sending a login cookie?

If it is not then show the login page.
