Hello,

We're using firefox esr on windows 10 for long time in our high school. The users firefox profile are redirected to their map home directory on a samba share.

Everything was working as expected.

Since we deploy ESR 78 our user are randomly unable to access their gmail account. Only after we delete google cookies they can access it again. Appart from gmail access everything else works.

I am suspecting a network issue and I've tried some tweak on my samba server. But no success so far.

Has anybody seen this problem? Is it supposed to be ok to keep user profile on a samba share?

Any clue would be appreciate.

Thank you

I've never heard of this problem and don't know of any existing issues with Samba.

This might be a better question to ask on our enterprise mailing list:
