Passwords yes, but why would the keyring be used for storing cookies?
poc
I think the browser stores some kind of user secret in the keyring. And when you switch DE, that secret gets lost, wiping the cookies.
That's my thought, though. But yes, that happens with alot of Chrome-based browsers that I use. Not sure about Firefox ones, I don't use two DEs at a time myself.
