Yes, exactly.

AO3 is a bit of a problem recently: when that cookie expires, I need to
login using Firefox, then extract the cookies from its opaque store and
transplant it to Lynx. I’ve scripted such a solution for Firefox 45, it
doesn’t work with current Firefox though because they broke everything,
in an incompatible way, again. This is annoying and websites who assume
that users can (and want to) use e.g. Firefox are… narrow-minded. ☹
