Can't Allow Permissions to your Extension/App

Open sus007 opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Firefox Version : Nightly 71.0a1 (2019-09-17) (64-bit) OS : Windows 10 Pro x64

Clicking the "Allow" button simple redirects to the "Unable to Connect" White Blank Screen, hence can't get your extension to work.

Maybe it is too late and you are not interested in this extension anymore. But it could help somebody else anyway.

Recently I found out that Firefox Multi-Account Containers or Temporary Containers could break OAuth2 authorization.

Basically, Firefox Containers or Temporary Containers in automatic mode could close the authentication window and reopen URL in a new container/tab which breaks authentication. Maybe this is what happened in your case.

So the easiest way to solve the problem is to temporarily disable these extensions in about:addons page, authenticate and then enable them again.
