Sign-in leaves you on a confusing redirecting page if "Open links in apps" is disabled in Firefox
I have only tried Firefox Nightly 117 and Chrome 114, but when i tried to sign in to the app, the "embedded" browser did not redirect back to the app after signing in when using Firefox, but did when I used Chrome.
(i will try to add more details to this later today, i just wanted to create the issue before i forgot)
I did test it in Firefox back when I built this flow and it did work. But I have a suspicion that this setting might be to blame — not sure whether it existed back then:
It does seem this setting messes with it. Having it set to "Never" leaves you on a redirecting page that is quite confusing. I think this page could probably be improved but I don't know what the best way to improve it would be. Ill update the title of the issue to the actual problem now
