So, web Outlook has had a bug with Single-Sign-On for many months now. It independently checks an own cookie, whether it should log you out, so it can happen that you log in via SSO and then it immediately triggers the logout flow of your SSO provider to log you back out.

Well, and when I say "can happen", I mean that this happens every single morning, unless I clear Outlook's cookies beforehand.
So, every morning before I start working, I hit Ctrl+Shift+H in Firefox to bring up the history, type "outlook" into the search, right-click an entry and then select "Forget About This Site" to clear the cookies.

Except, through the magic of doing this regularly, I've started typing just enough to make the Outlook entries appear at the top. Which isn't actually much shorter, but I noticed that I always just type "outloo".

Which sounds like a combination of "outhouse" and "loo". Which very much summarizes my feelings towards this Microsoft™ service, every time I have to do this. Which is every single morning. Fucking hell.

Exact same problem. It has been there for several years. Incognito mode is also a workaround. Do you know exactly which cookie it is? Maybe we can code a Firefox extension to remove it.

Writing an extension to fix what Microslop won't. Peak! Love it.

I'd guess, it's the authtoken cookie, since that has the right kind of expiry date for me and, well, makes sense from an OIDC perspective.

I might see, though, if the suggestion from @AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com maybe works. The Outlook webpage also redirects to outlook.cloud.microsoft since like, yesterday, which might've also unfucked things somehow? At least, I didn't get the logout loop, when I did try to test Alec's method just now.

I've experienced similar but just hitting my back button in the browser seems to work
