1738509 - "accounts.firefox.com" does report that cookies have not been enabled when it has been visited via any of the MSIX packages.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[Mr. Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:95.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/95.0

Steps to reproduce:

I did login to my account that is for "http://accounts.firefox.com".

This is affecting all of the versions of Firefox that I have used that have been packaged as packages whose file-extensions are, lastly, ".MSIX". Consequently, the "Version" for this report of errata has not been specified.

Actual results:

Although I had authenticated my credentials, and did observe consequent confirmation of authentication, the synchronisational state of Firefox was not altered. After restarting the browser, authentication and synchronisation was not possible, because the website did report that support for cookies had not been enabled.

Expected results:

Synchronisation should have been enabled for Firefox.
