I bet that the cookie information is exceeding 4kb. IE fallsover, Firefox too
iirc, Konqueror can cope with cookies>4kb though.

Firefox doesn't even complain. It looks like nothing happens.

If i put a large enough quantity your cookie gets too large and is rejected.

You should really use the session.
