I hadn't heard of this technique to get around the issue, but if there
is an exception for it, we're already doing this in our certs, so it
would already be fixed.

If that fails, any solution that lets us keep the cookies with
httponly set is preferred. Has anyone tested firefox to see if it will
accept third-party cookies loaded from:
* iframes
* ajax + cors
* 301, 302, meta refresh, or javascript redirects

I don't really want to play cat and mouse with Mozilla, but it would
be nice to know if we have options.
