Description

When attempting to login via a redirect soundclouds auth page does not load contents when using firefox. It DOES work with chrome. I haven't tested this with any app besides my own, but to recreate this error just create and follow the authorization code flow url and attempt to open the link in firefox. You should expect to see a login/allow access page to continue authenticating. What actually happens is that the page is just all white with the soundcloud header. This is frustrating because if users want to sign in to use my app( Roudy Music Player) they have to now download chrome as well.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,

Research direction

Start by recreating the authorization code flow URL and opening it in Firefox, then compare the result with Chrome. Done means the SoundCloud login and allow-access page renders in Firefox instead of showing a white page beneath the header.
