1528585 - NYTimes website login shows Spinner then fails

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1530050

(GeckoView :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[Colin Lee]

The New York Times website login works with a Google login, but on logging in with an email and password, it shows a spinner and then fails to log in.

Is this a regression? Does this login problem affect Fennec 65 or Focus 8.0.8 with GV 65?

Comment 2

[Colin Lee]

This seems to work fine in Focus 8.0.8. I'm not sure if this is a regression though or a Fenix-specific issue.

Comment 3

[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

The github issue mentions tracking protection might be at play.

[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

The GH issue was closed but it isn't clear to me if the tracking-protection-on case is really fixed? What is the desired behavior when logging in with TP on?

Comment 5

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

67=wontfix. Fenix MVP will use GeckoView 68, so we don't need to uplift this fix to 67 Beta.

I'm not sure, but it seems like we should show more even with TP. Right now, I can't even get a login failure when using a wrong password. That seems like a webcompat question.
