Well, this is interesting. I opened up the Storage tab of the Web Developer tools after I'd logged in, and could see the cookie from perlmonks.org -- there's a single key, 'userpass', with a hashed value. Cool.
Then I opened another tab, opened up the developer tools to the same Storage tab, and again navigated to perlmonks.org. I was prompted to log in -- but the cookie for the site was still there in Storage -> Cookies. I just compared all of the fields, and they appear to be identical.
So .. I don't know what's going on. I think I may try the same thing with Chrome on my MBP.
Update from Chrome and MBP: Chrome on OSX works fine. This may be a Firefox issue.

For a long time, I had a link in my .sig going to Groklaw. I heard that as of December 2024, this link is dead. Still, thanks to PJ for all your work, we owe you so much. RIP Groklaw -- 2003 to 2013.

i never needed this either. For me, on firefox, the cookies stick over the different tabs (unless a private browsing session)? developer tools is your friend.

Thanks -- I don't think I've ever needed that checkbox turned on before, hence my confusion.
