Steps to reproduce
1.Launch Thunderbird Mobile
2.Jump to built-in browser for authorized login
3.Complete account authorization and login in the browser
4.Observe the app side: no login success callback is triggered
Expected behavior
After authorized login succeeds in the built-in browser, the browser should trigger the callback and return login result to the app normally.
Actual behavior
Login is completed inside the built-in browser, but the app never receives the login success callback, causing the login process stuck.

Research direction
Start by tracing the built-in browser authorization flow and its callback handling in Thunderbird for Android, reproducing the issue on Android 12 with version 18.0. Done means a successful browser authorization returns its login result to the app and the login flow no longer remains stuck.
