Is anycritter else unable to stay logged in? Every new page I go to (a post, a community, a user) shows me logged out. I can log back in, but only for that page.

If it's on my end, advice would be nice ':3
Thankies squeek 🐭

Edit: Switching to Floorp seems to have fixed it 😅 Idunno if it's specific to this browser or I had some specific issue with how I had Firefox configured ooorrrr 🤷 That squeaked, apparently the adminicritters around here are updating to a fresh Lemmy version that deals with this issue. Neat! :3

headdesk Thought I'd fixed it by clearing the "site data and cookies" for this site v.v

I'm using Firefox 129.0.1 on Arch Linux (bytheway 😅 ), Enhanced Tracking Protection is on Standard. I do have a bunch of add-ons, but the only one I've changed recently was trying out µBlock Origin Lite in place of µBlock Origin (disabling the latter to try the former). I've since reversed that, to no visible effect. I've also got...

LocalCDN, tried switching that off for this site. No luck.
NoScript, with everything here set to trusted.
Privacy Badger, which sees no trackers here
A pile of other random stuff like Dark Reader, FoxyGestures, and Indie Wiki Buddy. Violentmonkey, I suppose. Shows no scripts for this site, though. Twitch Chat Pronouns. FFZ. Instance Assistant for Lemmy and Kbin? Maybe that's janked something up. ..... Nope!

Looks like it's only new tabs doing the thing now. I could've sworn it was any new page, but right now it seems I'm fine as long as I don't open a new tab. Also I did update Firefox possibly around the time this started soooo... maybe I'll blame Mozilla. Also maybe I'll finally start switching to another browser. ... Based on the same one anyway. Bleh.

[Lie/Joke] Or maybe good old Google Chrome will be my home 🤣

I have pretty much the exact same setup as you and started noticing this same issue right around when I installed NoScript (even though everything was set to allow). Let me do some testing and I'll get back to you.

UPDATE: after completely disabling the extension, the issue seems to have gone away. Not sure what's causing this (and tbh I don't really care enough to dig around and find out)

hmmm. I will assume you've restarted the browser completely at some point.

If you open up web developer tools (ctrl+shift+i) when you load pawb.social, with each request, in the cookies tab, or in the request header you should see one cookie jwt: "xxxxx". DO NOT SHARE THIS TOKEN. Its a pretty simple system. You might have some containerizing of tabs going on which will not allow the cookie to share across tabs. It should show if anything is being blocked, or your just not sending the cookie with your request. The other items in my request header for the root of pawb.social are
Accept : "image/avif,image/webp,/"
Accept-Encoding : gzip, deflate, br
Accept-Language : en-US,en;q=0.5"

Looks like it's there even in a new tab. Logging in again gets me a new one, which works... until I open another tab. Interesting thing, I can duplicate a tab and that one shows me logged in. Hmmmmmm. 🤔

Okay, had some more fun. I've got a heisenbug 😅 Sometimes opening a new tab works as expected, sometimes it doesn't. Duplicating a tab seems reliable, but that's kindof a goofy way to browse.

If you didn't see the edit, @AVincentInSpace@pawb.social seems to have determined its an issue with NoScript https://pawb.social/comment/10303654

Lemmy on desktop is pretty much all javascript, so that doesn't surprise me too much. It still sounds like some containerizing is going on. and a logged out header would be more interesting. If that was a logged out header, that's really strange because I wouldn't expect to see the cookie with the request.

Thanks, but that's the first thing I tried after seeing that post :-\ Didn't work for me. Muchly weird. Problem seems... less bad now? Sometimes pages load logged-in, sometimes refreshing helps.

Also, nowhere else seems to have this issue. Maybe the server hates me personally v.v

[–] l_b_i@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

It sounds like its time to create a new profile and start adding your addons one by one until you see the weird behavior. When it breaks try disabling or removing the breaking one on your original profile. I can't think of anything else to try. Good luck. about:profiles
