### Describe your project's tooling
react-app-rewired
### Describe the problem
onAuthStateChanged triggers with a `null` user when a new tab is opened
### Steps and code to reproduce issue
1. Open the page as signed-out user
2. Sign in (I can see that onAuthStateChanged is triggered with user data)
3. Open a new window with `window.open('/anyUrl', '_blank')`
4. onAuthStateChanged is triggered with `null` value (application is defined user as signed out).
5. reload the page and the user becomes authorized.
This happens only for the first iteration: f.e. if you Sign in and then reload the page and open a new tab the onAuthStateChanged is not triggered. So, to reproduce you need to open a new tab right after you sign in.
for authorization, I'm using the next code:
```
const persistence = data.remember
? browserLocalPersistence
: browserSessionPersistence
return setPersistence(auth, persistence).then(() =>
signInWithEmailAndPassword(auth, data.email, data.password),
)```
