Clearing the secure cookie makes sense when it is invalid or expired, but clearing it when it's not sent with a request can unexpectedly log the user out. I ran into this with misconstructed URLs which didn't incorporate base_url. That was itself a bug, but the result of suddenly being unauthenticated makes it harder to track down. Closes jupytergh-3365 (hopefully) Possibly also relevant to jupytergh-2396 I'm not sure why this seems to affect Firefox more than Chrome.
