1506507 - Can't read books in google play with third party cookie blocking

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1481086

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[Dror]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0

Steps to reproduce:

Went to https://books.google.com
Clicked on "My Library"
Clicked on a book


Actual results:

Got an error message "Can't open book
To read books on Google Play, set your web browser to allow cookies for books.googleusercontent.com."


Expected results:

I should have been able to read the book.

Please note that this is a bug with Google not Firefox.

Once I disabled third party cookie blocking it worked fine. This report is mostly to inform others that run into this issue.

As google.com is not the same as googleusercontent.com, the browser software behaves exactly as expected.

What outcome do you expect from this bug report?

Agreed, the software is doing its job. Feel free to close it. I just opened it so others who run into the issue of "Google books doesn't work in Firefox" understand the issue and the workaround.
