[Affected versions]:

  • Firefox Beta 82.0;

[Affected Platforms]:

  • Windows 10 x64;
  • Windows 8.1 x32;
  • Windows 7 x64;

[Prerequisites]:

  • Have a new Firefox profile created.
  • Have the User.js saved in the profile folder before opening the profile. (Note there should only be 2 files in the folder, times.json and the user.js)
  • Have the Terminal opened.

[Steps to reproduce]:

  1. Dag and drop the Firefox.exe in the terminal and add the "--first-startup" argument at the end.
  2. Press the "Enter" key and select the new FIrefox profile created in prerquisties.
  3. From the about:wlecome page click the "Sign in" hiperlink.
  4. Observe the behavior.

[Expected results]:

  • The "Sign in to Firefox Sync" page is loaded.

[Actual results]:

  • Nothing happens.

[Notes]:

  • This issue is not reproducible when enrolled in the "treatment-deafult" branch,.
  • This issue is not reproducible on the latest Nigntly 83.0a1 build with the deafult behavior.
  • No errors are displayed in the browser console when clicking the "Sign in" link. Only the following message: "AboutWelcomeParent: Received content event: AWPage:TELEMETRY_EVENT AboutWelcomeParent.jsm:173".
  • Unfortunatelly I didn't managed to enrolled in the experiment on Nightly 83.0a1. However, probably the issue will also reporduce on these builds. Considering this I will also set the flag to "affected" for 83. As soon as we will have the Beta 83 build availbable I will try to reproduce the issue and add a comment.
  • Attached screen recording off the issue.

Thanks for catching, we should update action property that handles SignIn link click to use SHOW_FIREFOX_ACCOUNT

Will update recipe in RemoteSettings with the fix. Please note the experiment is 82 specific and due to nimbus schema changes in 83, we cannot test the zero on-boarding experiment recipe in 83.thanks!

I have verified this issue and is no longer reproducible on the latest Firefox 82.0 RC build (Build ID: 20201014125134) on "beta" channel. Tested this on Windows 10 x64, Windows 8.1 x32 and Windows 7 x64.

  • The "Sign in" hyperlink works as expected and redirects to the "Sign in to Firefox Sync" page while enrolled in the "treatment-no-titles" branch.
  • I have verified that the link works as expected while enrolled in the "treatment-default" branch.
  • I have also verified that the enrolling in the "control" branch works as expected.
