1930684 - Cookies are deleted as soon as the app is set to the background

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Focus :: General, defect)

Description

[Denis Müller [:Webworkr]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 14; Mobile; rv:132.0) Gecko/132.0 Firefox/132.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open a website that requires a login and/or use an upload option,
e.g. a webmailer.

Actual results:

If you switch to another app in the meantime, you will be logged out. This also applies to file uploads (e.g. photos in the address book of a webmailer), as the user switches to the Android file picker - an upload is not possible.

Expected results:

Only delete (session) cookies when you close the browser.

Thank you for the report!
I am unable to reproduce this issue on the Focus 133.0, and on 133.0.1. I tried with instagram.com, and twitter.com, and uploaded files, sent Focus in the background, but I was not logged out.
Tested with a Xiaomi Mi8 Lite (Android 10), and an Oppo Find X3 Lite (Android 11).

Could you please provide us more details:

• on what device did you encountered this issue on?
• are you able to reproduce this only on webmailer? and constantly, or intermittently?
• could you retest on the latest Focus 133.0.1?

Could you please provide us more details:

• on what device did you encountered this issue on?

First of all, the information on hardware and Android version:

Samsung
Galaxy A13 5G (SM-A136B)
https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-A136B/EUX/doc.html

I have observed the phenomenon with my provider's webmailer.

I have not tried any other services. It is rather the exception that I use this browser.

• are you able to reproduce this only on webmailer? and constantly, or intermittently?
• could you retest on the latest Focus 133.0.1?

I would have to check that specifically.

@Webworkr:
Check browser behavior as requested:

• are you able to reproduce this only on webmailer? and constantly, or intermittently?
• could you retest on the latest Focus 133.0.1?

The error could not currently be reproduced for webmailers (upload photo in address book).

The screenshot just submitted here in Bugzilla was also possible without any problems.

I'll keep an eye on this.

Comment 7

I have just tried to open a new bug report in Bugzilla. Even when switching only between tabs within Focus, there was always a logout from the bug tracker in the meantime.

So I would answer the remaining questions in such a way that the behavior is not limited to the webmailer and the behavior is only temporary.
