A challenge is generated every time an authentication URL is created. Quitting the app makes the accounts service to lose track of that challenge and we get no authentication callbacks although the page is redirected to the success page. I guess we should at least get an error callback. I've asked the FxA team.

@keianhzo I observed that even the sessions that are opened in other windows are closed when reopening the app, not just the FxA login session. Is this intendeed?

I think this should be fixed by #3205

I have verified this issue and it's no longer reproducible with the latest Firefox Reality version 10-141130836 (d3f3c9b). The FxA login session is now dismissed after resuming the app.

Tested on HTC Vive Focus (Android 7.1.2), Oculus Quest (Android 7.1.1) and Pico Neo 2 (Android - 8.1.0) devices.
