Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/2145

Which version of floccus are you using?

5.8.3

How many bookmarks do you have, roughly?

~ 200

Are you using other means to sync bookmarks in parallel to floccus?

No

Sync method

Nextcloud Bookmarks

Which browser are you using? In case you are using the phone App, specify the Android or iOS version and device please.

Firefox 146.0.1 with Firefox Containers in heavy use

Which version of Nextcloud Bookmarks are you using? (if relevant)

16.0.1

Which version of Nextcloud? (if relevant)

32.0.3

What kind of WebDAV server are you using? (if relevant)

No response

Describe the Bug

Hi,
I try to create a new profile in Floccus, select Nextcloud, enter my link, enter an App Passwort. The web page says "connected, you can close this window", but Floccus still acts like no profile is there.
I am surely holding it wrong.

I guess this may have something to do with Firefox Containers I am using?

Can't provide a debug log yet since account creation fails and I therefore do not have Account settings to access.

Expected Behavior

Profile visible and useable in floccus

To Reproduce

Try to create a profile.

Debug log provided

Hello! 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at and if possible solved. Let me give you a short introduction on what to expect from this issue tracker to avoid misunderstandings. I'm Marcel. I created floccus a few years ago, and have been maintaining it since. I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have. I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it. Until then, please be patient. It helps when you stick around to answer follow up questions I may have, as very few bugs can be fixed directly from the first bug report, without any interaction. If information is missing in your bug report and the issue cannot be solved without it, I will have to close the issue after a while. Note also that GitHub in general is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can collaborate to make this software better. For everyone. Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands! If you cannot lend a helping hand, to continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way, I ask that you donate to the project when opening an issue (or at least once your issue is solved), if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum, to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

Thank you for reading through this primer. I look forward to working with you on this issue! Cheers! 💙

Hi @Zugschlus
So, the "Account connected" page is Nextcloud telling you that you successfully authenticated floccus. But the floccus profile setup is not finished at this point. There should still be a floccus tab around that has the floccus profile setup.

Indeed. Tried again, and that is indeed the case. Being pretty new to Nextcloud, but Floccus is not the first app I have enrolled with my Nextcloud and an app password, that UX was a new one for me. Sorry for not noticing.

No worries. How do you think this could be improved, so people don't get lost?

That's a difficult one. I am not sure whether I would have understood wording like "then, your floccus window at the place you were before calling up that nextcloud page to authenticate will show the new profile" back then. Now, I think I would, but seriously I don't know.

Alright, I'll keep it in mind, maybe I'll come up with something :)
