Hello Guys i have setup appwrite auth (Email Password, Google and Github). All auth methods works fine on the chrome based browsers but it has a strange issue with just github oauth on firefox based browsers

Getting User (role: guests) missing scope (account) this error.

Problem is with session creation ig.

I am using custom domain for endpoint and sending request form localhost:3000

TL;DR
Developers experiencing issues with Github OAuth in Firefox browser due to third-party cookies restrictions. Suggested solutions include enabling third-party cookies, using a custom domain for production, and checking Firefox tracking protection settings. The issue persisted even in the cloud after 24 hours.

As you have that problem only in firefox, it may be firefox policy about third party cookies. Try allowing it

@Ayush Sharma Make sure to use a custom domain for production

Yea this is a result of 3p cookies, I had this problem w/ localhost on every browser but chrome. Enabling 3p cookies fixed for localhost, it was fine on production.
