Forms Authentication accross applications and firefox

Has anyone else tried this?

I have been messing with this for a week and cant figure it out, for
some reason firefox will not read an authentication cookie unless it
was set by the applciation that your trying to load.
Where as IE will read the authentication cookie if it has the same name

(as specified in web.config) regardless of which application your in.
I am using the same machienkey decryptkey in both applications and
trying to just have one login page for both applciations. It works
perfectly in IE but in firefox you have to login again to view anything

from the second project. and you have to use the .setAuthCookie in the
second applciation.

I think it may be related to the way firefox stores cookeis in one
single txt file instead of one for each domain

Have you set the cookie Path to "/" and set allowCrossAppRedirects="true" in
your Forms auth config section?
