Firefox 69 has disallowed setting a cookie with domain: eq.edu.au thus locks me out of a company website.

The authentication site fed.education.qld.gov.au requires to set a cookie in order to enter the site oslp.eq.edu.au Firefox 69 apparently rejects this cookie causing the fed.education site to loop in attempting to repeatedly set the cookie. Is there any way to resolve this? I've already allowed cokkies for both sites. That didn't help.

Thanks for that philipp. I assume that means we watch and wait. I still don't quite understand how that works in Firefox. Does version 69 simply ban all 3LDs?

yes, in firefox 69 and probably soon in other browsers as well it's no longer possible to set a cookie for "eq.edu.au" and pass it along to all other domains under the ".eq.edu.au" domain. so there may be some changes necessary to the way the authentication is handled by these sites...
