After the upgrade to the latest FF version 3.0.11 I was kind of
suprised that now all my cookie settings for my TW were gone. Digging
into this I noticed that FF now automatically rewrites

file://localhost/Path/To/TW.html
to
file:///Path/To/TW.html

which in turn means that the cookie handler of FF can't safe cookie
exceptions any more (well it never did for "domain free" addresses
like file:///Path/To/TW.html ). Unfortunately this also means that the
workaround [1] does not work any more. It seems that this is caused by
FF people fixing [2].
I wonder if one knows of a simple solution to disable the URI rewrite
of FF 3.0.11. Of course I could use the workarounds number 2 and 3 of
[1] but neither of them are much appealing to me.
