Potential minor bug on login with Firefox? (possibly since last update...)

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

Users reported a non-fatal login error on Firefox after the latest update, displaying “Sorry an error has occurred”—resolvable by clicking OK. Hanon_Ondricek noted the issue may relate to the updated “Scrollable Post Content” component and shared an error log screenshot. JammyDodger suggested it could be the same passkey-related bug previously reported and fixed, linking to meta.discourse.org/t/an-error-occurred-at-login-modal-same-as-topic-293167/293720. After updating their site, Hanon_Ondricek suspected the issue might persist for users needing to clear browser cache/cookies, apologizing for the duplicate report. JammyDodger reassured them it’s not a concern and invited further feedback if the issue recurs.

I’ve had a couple users finding they get a generic “Sorry an error has occurred” when logging in since the latest update. It seems to be on Firefox as I experience no problems on Safari and other users say they don’t get this error. It’s not fatal since once they click OK they can log in. This is probably not major and a “wait for the next fix/update” situation but I wanted to report it and one of the users grabbed a screenshot of the log for me.

I’ve updated the “Scrollable Post Content” component which may or may not be involved.

I think that may be the same passkey error as this report:

An error occurred at login modal (same as topic 293167)

If so, it should already be fixed. :partying_face: Could you update your site and see if it still occurs?

We literally just updated, so it’s probably this user needing to close browser windows, clear cache and cookies, etc. Sorry for the rebump of this, I figured it was a known issue since it’s not fatal.

No worries, :slight_smile: If it does still happen let us know and we can take a closer look. :eyes:
