I can confirm that efa font size script messes up cookies. In my case 
this is what happens:

correct cookies (sample, more exist, ie for phpmyadmin):

name:		be_typo_user
host: 		intranet.domain.com
expires:	At End Of Session

name:		fe_typo_user
host: 		intranet.domain.com
expires:	Fri, 06 Feb 2009 14:44:54 GMT (stay logged in feature)

created by efa font size:

name:		be_typo_user
host: 		.domain.com
expires:	Sat, 30 Jan 2010 14:44:52 GMT

name:		fe_typo_user
host: 		.domain.com
expires:	Sat, 30 Jan 2010 14:44:52 GMT


Notice the fact that it has a different domain (without the intranet 
part) and the expiration.

After removing efa cookies are ok. I don't know much about the handling 
of cookies, is there an easy way to fix the javascript efa uses?
