Quick Fix: Try connecting to a different network or using a different device altogether. This may indicate an issue with your current network configuration that is preventing the request from being processed successfully.

The Problem:

Firebase’s ‘signInWithRedirect’ method is causing an ‘Unable to process request due to missing initial state’ error when used in Firefox. This error prevents successful sign-in attempts, while other browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Edge function correctly. Investigating the cause and finding a solution for Firefox-specific functionality is crucial in resolving this issue.

The Solutions:

Solution 1: Switch to a different network

Try switching to a different network, such as turning off your Wi-Fi and using mobile data, or vice versa. This may resolve the issue with sessionStorage being inaccessible or accidentally cleared.
