Topic: Getting firefox to accept cookies from localhost.

I cant seem to find it in the options anywhere and for some reason i cant set any cookies from http://localhost/ which is where I installed punbb to play around with. While its not that big a deal, i would think it would be default to accept cookies from localhost, as it should be trusted. Any one have any ideas? The cookie works fine if i access it via home.ruckus.biz or via ip directly, (home.ruckus.biz is simply an A Line i set up to direct to my IP.)

its set to it using localhost, Its not setting the cookie, e.g, i login and get redirected to index.php and not logged in (in other words i dont actually get logged in).

Edit: Problem fixed, I discovered it was my firewall's cookie setting was to high and for some reason it doesnt trust local host. :x I would think localhost should automaticaly be trusted higher than anywhere else.
