Step 5 - Cannot sign in to the web app.

[happyskeleton]

After having successfully deployed the application I am unable to sign in on Firefox. The sign in pop-up flashes for a second and then disappears.

I've tried this on Chrome with cookies and notifications allowed and still get the same result.

Unable to proceed further with the tutorial.

I am having the same issue, and there's no update bout this issue for more than a year now

Can you try setting a custom parameter on the auth provider to force the prompt for an account selector? I.e., your signIn function would look like:

// Signs-in Friendly Chat.
async function signIn() {
  // Sign in Firebase using popup auth and Google as the identity provider.
  var provider = new GoogleAuthProvider();
  provider.setCustomParameters({
    prompt: "select_account"
  });
  await signInWithPopup(getAuth(), provider);
}

This seems to resolve the issue for me on Firefox (can't currently reproduce in Chrome).

It seems that http://127.0.0.1 isn't a authorized domain, so accessing by http://localhost works for me!

With that code and on http://127.0.0.1, you'll see the errors.

signInWithPopup(getAuth(), provider)
      .then((result) => {
        //success
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.log("ErrorCode:" + error.code);
        console.log("ErrorMessage:" + error.message);
      });

Errors on Console: ErrorCode:auth/unauthorized-domain ErrorMessage:Firebase: Error (auth/unauthorized-domain).
