Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Firefox extension: click the extension button, enter a password, and observe the spinner. Compare the behavior with Chrome and inspect the available browser logs, since the report provides no error output or code location. Done means the wallet unlocks successfully on Firefox without spinning indefinitely.
