It is not enough to delete the cookies from firefox. I noticed a ton
of cookies that MSN puts on my machine each time I log into hotmail.
They include:

login.passport.net
loginnet.passport.com
passport.com
passport.net
signout.msn.com
msn.hotmail.com

Block the "loginnet.passport.com" cookie in
Firefox->Options->Cookies->Exceptions and you shouldn't get the signout
issue. However, doing this will disable the ability of hotmail to save
your sign-in info at startup. This is odd though since the
"passport.com" cookie's MSPPre field is actually what saves who last
logged in. Since I don't mind that hotmail doesn't remember me I just
disabled all of the above.

UPDATE, I disabled all but the login.passport.net cookie since MSN
requires this one.
