Comment 4 for bug 1421715

Opening a new popup window for the sign-in process really is a broken workflow… Anyway as Riccardo mentioned, once we have an animation in place to inform the user that a new background tab was open, this will be less of an issue.

I tried logging in to feedly using my google account, and the login appeared to be successful. the newly open tab said that it should automatically close itself, but it didn’t (known issue being addressed, see bug #1353453).

Tried running it with https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/webbrowser-app/on-close-requested/+merge/240437, and the tab didn’t close either, I’m seeing the following errors in the console:

If I close the tab manually and refresh the initial tab, I’m not logged in, so something is not working properly indeed.
