[Developers] Note on Firefox and cookies

[Christopher Dummy]

Yes, that sounds exactly like what happened, those seems like the
affects. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a 5 min timeout thing, since I had
the problem only on one machine. Arthur also had the similar problem,
and when he cleared his cookies it worked for him.

I ended up having to delete all the cookies entirely, and then
immediately after I deleted them -- Freebase started working again for
m.
