Ah I see, it sounds like I'm saying it's Firefox fault. No I definitely agree, chromium is the largest market share, and gets the most support, and doesn't always follow standards, so some websites will have compatibility issues if they don't specifically focus on Firefox support.
It's just a sucky situation.
Fresh install of Windows 10, fresh install of Firefox, fresh install of Dropbox.
I was trying to log into Dropbox to authenticate the app, but every time I got to the part where I had to enter my 2fa it would say it was expired. I grew concerned that I was hacked and it was changed, but trying it on my old computer it worked fine.
Then I said fine, I had accidentally paired my Dropbox account with my Google account years ago, so I guess I'll use that. So I logged into Google, and then clicked sign in with my Google account, and I got stuck in a loop where the page was refreshing everything few seconds.
The page would load, it would say "signing you in with your Google account", then it would say at the top in red letters something like "sorry, you haven't signed in recently enough to do that, please log in", and the entire page would refresh and start the loop over, "signing you in with your Google account" etc etc. I left it go through several cycles, it was never gonna work.
It was about then that I guessed that Firefox might be the problem, and it was 🤷♂️
The only non standard thing about my config, is that Windows is inside of a VM. That could very well be it too? But edge was also in that same VM, and it worked. I only used edge because I'm trying to keep the VM light, so I didn't install chrome for a one off thing.
I don't know why I got down voted in my earlier comment, I'm not pooping on Firefox. I honestly want it to work, and am still going to use it. But the facts are facts, I literally just ran into this issue yesterday 🤷♂️
I recently switched back to Firefox, and almost immediately ran into an issue where I couldn't log into Dropbox. It took me far longer than I'd like to admit, to realize that ~~Firefox was the problem~~ it wasn't working because Dropbox doesn't properly support Firefox. I popped into edge and logged in immediately no problem.
I'm still gonna stick with Firefox, but it's annoying that it doesn't work all the time.
Edit: what's with the down votes? I like Firefox, I'm using Firefox, but I won't deny that I ran into issues with it 🤷♂️
Edit 2: I realize now that the tone of my message sounds like I'm blaming Firefox. That was not my intention. It's a complicated issue and they are getting a rough deal. Not their fault. I've struck out the offending line.
Ok that's great to hear. Basically it functions perfectly fine so long as you aren't stressing the system.
Nice research! Thanks!
That makes sense. I'm pretty sure all my chargers support voltages up in the 20s, I forget what the standard is. So perhaps that's the main factor.
Thanks for your input!
Interesting, so perhaps it could be an issue. I'd be curious to find out!
Hmmm, well USB PD is pretty universal and I imagine that's what framework uses?
18w is pretty low, I agree and I wouldn't expect that to work. But the 13 inch framework uses a 65w power supply so it certainly seems in the realm of possibility. To me anyway.
I'd love to know if anyone has tried it
That's fair. I figured as much. I'm still doing most of my couch computing on a 2016 Chromebook. It calls for a 45w charger, but I've used my 18w phone charger in the past. It complains about it, but it still slooowly charges.
I was hoping the framework would fare better on 65w.
Again, not a big deal, just a talking point. Easily solved problem. Just curious. Thanks!
Kids these days
Ooh, yeah, that's a bit different... Not a good look
