Ask HN: Is Google's oauth2 changes break on Firefox?

1 pointsby pdfttgzabout 6 years ago
Several weeks ago, I developed my own service that uses Google&#x27;s oauth2 for authentication. It used a popup window method to reach Google&#x27;s oauth2. It worked for both Chrome and Firefox. Then, I noticed that oauth2 UI has changed a bit and the popup on Firefox is no longer work, yet it still works on Chrome. This happened exactly on 17 Dec 2018. I fixed that by changing the method to reloading the callback in the same tab&#x2F;window without popup and it&#x27;s fine on both Chrome and Firefox. Since then, I found more services that use the popup method against Google oauth2 were no longer work on Firefox. Some of them fixed it by moving to reload method.<p>I&#x27;m not sure whether the Firefox update or Google&#x27;s oauth2 update that has caused this.<p>Is there anyone experienced this? If your service uses the oauth2 + popup method, you may check if it still works on Firefox.
