Re: Sessions not retained in Firefox/Safari

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

by default session support requires cookies (you must not haver cookies off
in IE, chck the zone, and be sure cookies are disabled for that zone).

you can use cookieless sessions, (see web config), but this munge the
session id into the url, so your urls look like

mysite.com/applicaion/numericsessionid/page.aspx
