Strange; any change that you are using a multidomain setup?

In your bugtracker report you mention that FF sends two cookies with the 
same key (=Typo3InstallTool). I guess, this only happens when the cookie 
details are different (different domain and/or different path). Could 
you please debug this?
That's the kind of issue I was talking of in case (1) - different 
treatment of cookies in IE and FF.
