They are using Firebase, which won't work in private browsing mode until indexedDB (and possibly other APIs) are fully supported in private browsing mode in Firefox in . WhatsApp Web runs into similar loading loops for similar reasons (bug 1767407).

With our recent enhancements to support IndexedDB in private browsing mode, I was able to login using google account and go past the loading loop. Please note that since supporting IndexedDB in private browsing is still an under development feature; you have to toggle on the feature switch from about:config with the key 'dom.indexedDB.privateBrowsing.enabled'.

Yes, I was also able to log in with dom.indexedDB.privateBrowsing.enabled enabled. Yay!

that's great. Should we close the bug now?

Sure, since we're actively working on shipping this ASAP, let's close this bug with the caveat that it will work with that pref enabled until it's on by default for everyone.
