Bug description

When I open a fresh session with a Mozilla Firefox browser and try to login to Nextcloud the first attempt is completely ignored. The page reloads and when I enter the credentials again, everything works fine. I have noticed this behaviour on two separate Nextcloud instances, we operate at our University. Both are on the latest version (with German language pack).

Unfortunately, I'm not the admin of neither of these instances, but I tried to find a solution with one of the admins who told me that he doesn't even see the login attempt in the logs.

With other browsers (such as Chrome) it seems to work fine. So no idea whether this is a bug in Nextcloud or Firefox, but I decided to start here. ;-)

Steps to reproduce

Take a Mozialla Firefox (122.0 in my case) on MacOS (14.2.1) and start a fresh session with a Nextcloud server.
Enter credentials on login screen. Press the "Log in" button.
Page seems to load, but it reloads the login screen, no matter whether the credentials were correct or not.
The second login attempt works as expected.
Trying this after e.g. a successful logout or when there was a recent session with the Nextcloud server it also works fine.

Can you check your browser console for any clues? And the Network tab as well (while reproducing the problem).

I can't reproduce the problem right now, as it only used to happen when I didn't login to the system for a few days. I'll try it again in a few days and close this, if it doesn't happen again (Firefox has updated to 122.0.1 in the meantime).

I was a able to reproduce the bug with one login again, please find below the one message that occured on the browser console, although I cannot tell what its relation with Nextcloud might be. The output of the web developer console is also listed below.

The network analysis tab is showing me a Post request (to file "login"), which resulted in an error 303. However, this happens with a successful (second) login as well.

In an buggy first login there appears a redirect like e.g. as follows: https://clousi.hs-mannheim.de/index.php/login?redirect_url=/index.php/apps/files/&direct=1&user=XXXXXX

In a normal login the next connection is to .../apps/dashboard/.

Does this help in any way?
