I managed to make it so I could target the URL on port 80 so I could use wireshark on the laptop to see what the LTM was sending back.

 

The capture clearly showed that the LTM WAS setting the cookie expiry time correctly but Firebug was displaying a completely (almost random +xx seconds) time!

 

No idea why Firebug was not displaying the correct expiry time but it isn't the iRules that is causing the problem.
