Unable to load session after Riot update

[tues]

Description

After clicking the "Update" button yesterday I was logged out of Riot and can no longer log in. I haven't changed anything regarding my browser settings, version or add-ons.

Riot on my Android phone is working fine (I haven't updated it recently though).

BTW, thanks for creating Riot, it is great 🙂

Steps to reproduce

• While signed in to Riot, click the "Update" button
• You will be signed out
• Try to sign in

I can only see a throbber on a white background, but I expect to see normal chat interface.

I have tried refreshing browser cache but it doesn't help. I haven't tried clearing local storage because I don't want to create new encryption keys as I always have some issues with missing chat history afterwards (even if I import old keys as well). I have tried signing in from an incognito window and it doesn't work as well.

Log: not sent (because I can't sign in)

Here are the logs from my browser's console:

[lampholder]

@alex-mayorga glad this is working for you! I think that your two issues were similar in experience but different in cause (I was about to carve out a separate bug for your problem).

@tues have you tried running firefox without extensions? The problem seems to be with a recent performance metric change we made, but it seems strange that it would be affecting just you (unless there were something strange with your browser setup). We're currently looking in to a fix that stops this from happening - a telemetry failure should under no circumstances stop the app from functioning :(

[mirrorway]

Login stuck at the throbber over a white screen:

• stock Torbrowser 7.5.3 - this used to work 2 weeks ago
• Firefox 59 with privacy.resistFingerprinting := True

Successful login:

• stock Firefox 59

[tues]

Thank you @lampholder and @mirrorway for looking into this.

I confirm that just disabling privacy.resistFingerprinting in Firefox 59 fixes the issue, although I've lost my private keys anyway and have over 20 new devices 😞 Thankfully now there's an option to delete multiple devices at once 😄

I really hope that you'll find a way to make Riot work despite telemetry failures 🙂

[lampholder]

Ah, that makes sense!

Yes - we're only just starting to add telemetry; this has been a valuable lesson - I'll enabled the resistFingerprinting stuff on my test machine at work, too.

Thanks, and thanks for your patience :)

[tues]

To be fair, resistFingerprinting is a quite drastic measure, having visible impact on some websites (e.g. time zones may be wrong), but so far I've seen only one website not working at all with this setting enabled (and it was made by a company known for evil practices in general) so it would be really nice to have Riot working even with this setting on.

Thanks again 🙂

[herbsmn]

It doesn't seem as though Tails OS users are able to use riot with the default Tor Browser Bundle due to this resistFingerprinting issue. I've never had a problem using any other webpage due to this. Would love to see this fixed.

[lampholder]

We've made a change that stops Riot from breaking when it can't access the performance object - it's currently live on https://riot.im/staging - if you get a chance could you try it out and let me know how you get on?

[herbsmn]

Yes, this staging site is working for me with Tor Browser on Tails. Thanks!

[tues]

I can confirm: it's working in Firefox with resistFingerprinting enabled 🙂 Thank you very much!
