Describe the bug

Trying to login I end up with "failed to initialise the auth provider: browser automation error: failed to create blank page: EOF".

I tried 

./slackdump -browser firefox msg-id
./slackdump -browser chromium msg-id

running it in the terminal, I noticed that the terminal looses focus for a moment and then above error message is displayed.

Authentication type (please read)

Okta

Output Desktop (please complete the following information):

Hey @thomasklein,

You can try running with -legacy-browser and see if that helps - will use different automation library. This page might help understanding the auth process: https://github.com/rusq/slackdump/wiki/EZ-Login-3000

Also, when presented with auth choices, what kind of auth are you selecting?

Alternatively, you can try selecting "Google Auth" (in the login method selection menu)- it will (try) using your browser with the current user profile.
