Hi,

There is an issue in firefox cookie system after the new version "59" upgrade, the problem is when a cookie is set/modified the changes are not applied globally on other "Tabs/windows", seems that the cookies are cached in each tab/window individually, I just wrote a simple JS script so you can check it:

https://jsbin.com/patomoninu/2/edit?html,js,output

Please check mention script in two pages (or tabs) simultaneously, when a cookie is set in one page, you cannot access it from other pages, this issue is not seen in another browsers but "Firefox 59" would you please check it? Thanks for considering,

Hmm, it's strange.

document.cookie in one tab picks up changes made in cookies set by the server in another tab (SET-COOKIE header), but not changes made by JavaScript in another tab. There seems to be some kind of isolation.

I filed a bug: document.cookie not accurate for cookies changed by scripts in another tab.
