[Developers] Note on Firefox and cookies

[Dae Park]

Any chance you visited freebase using "https" using firefox? We  
rolled out https recently and had an issue with using firefox's built- 
in globalStorage. Basically once you visited freebase using "https"  
all your settings/cookies in globalStorage are basically in- 
accessible when you switch over to "http" and firefox throws a  
Security Error and cripples all of our javascript. This has been  
remedied for now on production.

If anyone else encounters this problem, I advise them to clear out  
all cookes/offline website data from freebase.com, do a shift+reload.
