> Is it possible that Firefox is getting the server's reported time, calculating an offset before server time and client time, and then dynamically adjusting the cookie expiration time accordingly? My mind is boggled a little bit.

Yes, but Firefox is the only browser that does this.  We discussed the issue in the cookie working group at the IETF and they agreed to remove this behavior because it's super nutty.
