NullPointerException in DefaultCookieHandler.setCookie

I went to create an issue on EACJ, using the following link which I have bookmarked:

https://extranet.atlassian.com/jira/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa

I can't see right at the moment whether I have a cookie or not because Firefox isn't letting me open any dialogs. I suspect most likely that I do, however.
