Breaks EverNote Clipper Sign In #1129
Comments
"Sign-in with $Service" only works if you stay in the same tab (and its container) that gets opened from the Clipper Add-on - which is the default container. As soon as the Confirm-Page is triggered the Auth-Flow is broken and can't work anymore. The workaround here is to unassign google so you can login, and assign it afterwards again (and you probably want to clear cookies/storage for the default container). |
OK, that's a bit of a bummer, but I get it. Would you elaborate on how I would do that? It's not really clear to me how to do this. |
Open google in its assigned container (the one on the blue button on the confirm page) and untick the "Always open in" checkbox. Now login with Clipper - after that you can tick the checkbox again. Or open the MAC popup, click on edit containers, edit the assigned container, there you can unassign google too. Also, it might be interesting to look into using |
You could also file an Issue with the Clipper Add-on and ask for container support. It could e.g. open the Sign-In popup in the currently active container. That way you could open google in its assigned container and do the login there. |
I've thought about this a bit, and I'm pretty sure this is a MAC problem. Another example of MAC breaking this sort of log in flow is with Jira. The same set up above is rendered more or less impossible. |
I'm guessing you're referencing to an Add-on that tries to login to Jira? If so, then the same thing applies here - the Add-on needs to be container-aware. There's no way to automatically do "the right thing" without potentially leaking data from one container into another one (aside from the possibility to not reopen tabs in case of "staying in the same container", maybe). I think it might be a good idea to setup a wiki-page that can be handed out to Firefox Add-on developers to get a hang of how to support containers properly. If it's not an Add-on but a website that doesn't function properly then please go ahead and file another issue so it maybe can be sorted out. |
The Clipper add-on should be updated to support the @jherdman: Is the Jira login flow issue related to an add-on or a regular Jira website? |
Regular website. My apologies, that should have been a new issue I think. |
Thanks, please file a new issue for the broken Jira login. (Or look for an existing issue to upvote.) I'm closing this bug as the Clipper fix should be made by the Clipper add-on. |
