Fenix: FNX-5509 ⁃ Successful FxA login should open Sync Settings, not a web page.

[vladikoff]

Not sure if we have this on file.

Reference document https://mozilla.invisionapp.com/share/QSR2F8UD4PN#/357470306_Settings_-_New_User

Steps to reproduce

Login to Sync via FxA

Expected behavior

After a successful login, the app should open native Sync Settings

Actual behavior

The app opens "You are now ready to use Firefox Sync" web page. (It's a bit of a dead end)

@AmyYLee just chiming in to say @vladikoff is correct

@grigoryk @vesta0 in my testing on a Mozilla Guest WiFi the current experience is kinda broken, after I sign in via pairing and go to settings the button still says "Sign In" and only kicks in after about 20-30 seconds. What can we do about this bug?

[vesta0]

@vladikoff you are right, this looks like a regression. Do you know why it's happening?

[vladikoff]

@vesta0 could be because we are syncing more stuff now

[vladikoff]

@vesta0 @grigoryk we might need to file a different bug (marked as an MVP Blocker) for this so we don't forget. See affected users here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/fenix-nightly/H9kTciTLoBk/o81d81VOBQAJ

[vesta0]

@vladikoff I agree. Would you please file a bug for it since you have more information about the potential cause?

[grigoryk]

After some reflection, I don't think we actually want to do this. Having the user end up deep in settings after completing sign-in seems counter-productive. Their goal was not to look at sync status, but to either complete some task, get to their bookmarks and/or history, establish a connection between browsers, or just get through the nagging prompts and move on. Either way, displaying Sync Settings with no clear indication of "you're done, and here's what you can now do" seems strictly worse than what we have now. People often don't pay attention to subtle UIs while they're going through auth flows, and sync settings is just too subtle to be a terminal point in the flow.

This will also require non-trivial changes in a-c, and I'd rather focus on stability issues right now.

I do agree that the current state is non-ideal, but let's re-address this once we have time to think through an actually good experience?

[grigoryk]

Removed the blocker label, feel free to re-add it if you disagree strongly.

@vesta0, @bifleming just so you're aware ^^

[ryanfeeley]

It's harmless to leave it at the You are now ready to use Firefox Sync page for now. Trailhead, and a desire to offer something better than Connect Another Device, means this page will change soon enough.
