If the cookie is set through HTTPS and does not have the Secure flag set, the browser will happily send it along when loading HTTP resources.

If you read the article, you would know that it is a terminal emulator written in javascript that gives you access to the computer the webserver runs on.

There is no change to the browser itself at all, just plain javascript that shows a terminal running on a remote computer.

You do not ask for an extension of an SSL certificate, but you get a new one signed with another expiry date.

I think it is theoretically possible to change the expiration date, and ask a certification authority to sign that new certificate, but I have never heard of that happening anyways.

It might be a good idea to delete this thread since this bug is in the openssl client, which is not as widely used as the library.

The site cannot detect that you have an extra root certificate lying around on your computer. If you visit the website without the Superfish program installed, you just evaluate the SSL settings of your browser.
