EllisLab/CodeIgniter — Issue #1102: Firefox session issue

I have a simple login in system which all works in ie however in firefox it drops the session when changing page.

I have a login view which takes the log in and when sucessfull redirects to the home page where it loads a different header if logged in. This works, however when i refresh or click another link on my page i loose the session.

This only happens in Firefox, in IE8 it works perfectly, i havent been able to try any other browsers.

I cant find anything on here or google search to help fix this problem, i even suspected the SI_session library so ommited the session on autoload and coded usual SESSION with start_session etc and i get exactly the same outcome.

I have read up somewhere that when Firefox see's a http:// request it views it as a new session maybe this is the reason somewhere within the codeigniter code. I tried changing the base url in config.php by removing the http:// but no luck!

Any help would be apreciated! Im running out of hair to pull out!
