1061110 - No login to gmail account with Nightly 34.0a1 (2014-08-31) and earlier

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1059074

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[alex.e-mail]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140831030206

Steps to reproduce:

Install or Update Nightly 64 bit - Version between 4 or 7 days old-. Open this fresh installation or logout from a current gmail-session.
Open gmail.com and type in your adress and password. Or do the same within a private window.
I tested it with 2 different Windows 8.1 Professional machines. I did not try a 32 bit version.


Actual results:

With a usual window nothing happens.
Wihtin a private session at least one can see a error message from gmail which says there would not we cookies enabled.


Expected results:

Login should work.
Problem is, that gmail should even work without cookies, because login works with IE and without cookies enabled. In this case I just get a hint that cookies enabled would be better for gmail - but at least it works.

Thanks!
So I found a workaround for the next time.
But why didn't I find this bug neither by search in the bugs nor by new bug form?

I don't know, maybe matching algorithm problem or your operation steps have an issue.
