webCoRE won't remember browser?

[Equis]

After years of webCoRE working just fine in my desktop browser, I now have to register the browser every time I start the browser. It's not an issue on my mobile browser. Thoughts?

Problem solving: There are three classes of issues commonly seen: HE firmware is not up to date do keep your HE firmware up to date webCoRE is not installed properly, or not up to date ways to resolve: politely reboot your HE hub (HE console -> Settings -> "Reboot") Let the hub settle after the reboot (3 mins or so) then try again. common resolution: (If using built-in, above suggestion should cover this) Ensure webcore files are up to date: if using the built-in webCoR…

What to do if webCoRE IDE / Dashboard is acting strange? Make sure webCoRE is operating properly (note above) Make sure you entered the password correctly (or reset the password for the IDE in webCoRE) this is set in HE Console -> apps -> webcore -> Settings -> Security -> "Choose a security password for your dashboard" Typically this a browser caching issue that occurs if the webCoRE IDE files have been updated (css, html, js) in webCoRE Dashboard -> select 'Log Out'.

I've repaired webCoRE, rebooted the hub, and rebooted my computer (many times).

I've tried everything I can think of. I think it's a browser issue. I've disabled all browser extensions, cleared cookies and cache, and did the Firefox cleanup (I think that creates a new default profile). It happens on staging as well, but other sites (Gmail, Hubitat forum, Hubitat itself) remember the browser sessions.

It took a few tries, but I finally captured this very quick error when I first go to dashboard.webcore.co...

Does it do the same on a phone/tablet? Edit, just saw your op.

My only other thought is do you have any desktop utilities that prevents trackers etc... that could be wiping out cookies.

[Equis]

No, the dashboard loads just fine (logged in, list of pistons) on Firefox on my phone. Chrome on my desktop appears to remember my browser/session as well. This is a new issue, but not sure what changed. I've turned off all extensions, blockers, etc, and added dashboard.webcore.co to tracking and cookie exceptions.

Have you tried Chrome or another browser?

[Equis]

Yep, Chrome works fine. Was hoping this was just going to be a cookie issue or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ipaterson, thoughts?

I may have fixed it. I changed a setting in about:config after searching for "session". I changed the browser.sessionstore.upgradeBackup.latestBuildID value, but I wonder if it just "rebuilt" whatever was messed up. Looks like same thing is happening on another site. It's some sites, but not others.

[ipaterson]

In your cookie exceptions, do you have the dashboard and those other sites listed as "Allow" or "Allow for Session"?

[Equis]

"Allow".

So far so good. Again, not really sure what fixed it except maybe that about:config change resetting something. Tomorrow after a start from everything close/off will be the test...
