This is more just a heads up interesting note that I found today than a CFC related problem. It's only related to CFCs in that I've got a session "security" object, which handles all the login related information and rules.
Basically, what happens is:

1) if the security object is not defined, create it.
2) the security object creates a cookie which stores the userID (encrypted)
3) later, I check the userID by calling a method on the security object

The cookie is set to expire when the user logs out, or when they close the browser.

What happens?

In Firefox, when the browser is closed, both the session and the cookie are destroyed, so that when the user returns, everything happens again as normal.

In Internet Explorer, however, when the browser is closed, only the cookie is destroyed. When the user returns before the session would normally time out, they get an error, because the security object still exists and expects the cookie to exist too.

I wonder where the real difference lies?
