mozilla/browserid — Issue #723: Sign in doesn't work on Android devices
Author: ioanab
Created: 2011-12-07 13:23:36+00:00
State: open

Device: Motorola Droid2
OS: Android 2.3.3
Browser: Native (set as default)

STR:
1. Load http://beta.myfavoritebeer.org or http://beta.myfavoritebooze.org in the browser.
2. Click on the Sign In button.
3. Enter your credentials and sign in.
4. Select an email and sign in.

After the user selects an email and clicks the Sign In button, the BrowserID dialog is closed but the user is not actually signed in. When the user tries to click the Sign In button again, the dialog is opened for less than a second than it disappears.

Notes:
I noticed bug 708 has almost the same title, but I decided to file a separate bug since this behavior is completely different from what is described there.

This issue is intermittent: I used the device for an hour before seeing it happen.
