I do not have login problems, but here's my rundown of my setup:
I use Pale Moon 24.6.2, which hasn't been updated in years. I don't know if Pale Moon might have done anything to change the user agent in future updates. My useragent is set as ... Oh, this interesting. I actually manually set my own useragent for autohotkey.com. I'm not sure why I did, but I might speculate that when I did try to use the user agent spoofers in the past, that I needed a set value for AHK to keep me logged in.
general.useragent.override.autohotkey.com;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko 20140610 Firefox/24.0 PaleMoon/24.6.2.
My default UA is .......................................
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20140610 Firefox/24.0 PaleMoon/24.6.2.
So there is only a difference with a / after Gecko.
Significant? I don't know.

I do not run any user agent spoofer or other spoofing addons, though I do have them installed (just not functioning). My active addons I could suspect doing anything are HTTPS Everywhere, Disconnect.me, Better Privacy, Adblock Plus, and Self-Destruct Cookies. The last one has been set to allow autohotkey.com.

I took a look at the cookies. Interestingly, the prefixed
phpbb3_ are duplicated in name -- looks like the Host is what is different. One set of 3 is for autohotkey.com, and another for
http://www.autohotkey.com. And this may be the clue, now that I look at the expiration dates. Here's just a rundown of all my cookies, with content values replaced with lengths.
