Sign in asks for email, not for pass, goes "Working" for more than an hour about mercury HOT 11 CLOSED

Maybe it's because I had Pulse -Firefox fork- installed and it left something in one of the folders, even after uninstalling it?

Hello
I think you need to clean up the old user data, the specific method may refer to this webpage: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
After clearing user data, check to see if the problem still exists.

I deleted the .mozilla folder (where profiles are), uninstalled Mercury, deleted everything about Pulse, Mercury and Mozilla in .cache and everywhere. Then I tried logging in in Mozilla first: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/auth Then tried signing in with Mercury, and now it showed the pass after recognizing the email, I entered the pass and for the past 14 minutes it shows this:

Does vanilla firefox have this problem?

Just installed Firefox, took 3 seconds to sync.

I will report this issue to Alex

Alex, I think we need to investigate this issue

from mercury.

I am also having this issue on Arch Linux, using the mercury-browser-bin package from the AUR (Mercury version 112.0.3).

EDIT:
I appear to have found a workaround:

1. Open Mercury Browser at least once so it auto-generates the profiles. Then close Mercury Browser.
2. Open Firefox or Waterfox and sign in to Firefox Sync.
3. Go into the auto-generated Mercury profile (on linux, in ".mercury" in the home folder, go into the folder that contains more than just a "times.json" file) and delete everything in it.
4. Copy the contents of the Firefox/Waterfox profile (on linux, in the .mozilla or .waterfox folder in the home folder, go into the profile folder that contains more than just a "times.json" file) and copy all of the contents into the Mercury profile folder.
5. Open Mercury Browser, it should launch with the profile logged into Firefox sync.

Workaround works nicely.

Maybe it's because I had Pulse -Firefox fork- installed and it left something in one of the folders, even after uninstalling it?

Forgot to mention that I've been using Thorium without a single glitch since almost it came out, so I don't think this has something to do with my desktop specs.

It seems the workaround doesn't work around anymore, lol.

Just made a shortcut to https://github.com/issues and found out I had forgotten this issue open, it has been fixed since several Mercury versions ago.
Here are some bonus Mercury Arch themes of mine for those reading this, lol.
