Browser Add-Ons can cause Session Reset

Using a Browser Add-On that modifies the User-Agent can cause the
Session to be reset at seemingly sporadic intervals.

with FireBug DISABLED
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:
1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100202 Firefox/3.5.8

with FireBug ENABLED
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:
1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100202 Firefox/3.5.8 FirePHP/0.4

I've alerted the author of the plugin to the incompatibility, though I
doubt the plugin's behavior will be changed.

Here's a full writeup.
