I cant access to JN with token when I use firefox.

[Huzo]

Hello,
So my default browser is firefox. When I start jupyter notebook I get the usual respond and a link such as: Copy/paste this URL into your browser when you connect for the first time, to login with a token: http://localhost:8888/?token=7c014a1c5217f33143de0a891f0623f49afc4513761e728c. However when I paste this code to firefox, I get redirected to http://localhost:8888/tree no matter what. And that requires Password and Token (which does not work when I still paste the token). However if I paste my link to Chrome, it works fine and I dont even get asked authentication. I use firefox for everything so it is a bit annoying facing this issue. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Do you have any unusual config in Firefox, such as blocking cookies?

[Huzo]

Umm, do you know which particular preference names I should check under about:config?

[takluyver]

I don't know, sorry. But the defaults should be fine, so unless you know that you've configured it to ignore cookies or something, it's probably not that.

What about browser extensions?

[Huzo]

Every configuration is in default. I only have AdBlock as an extension but jupyter notebook used to work in Firefox with that extension installed.

I have fixed the problem by editing the jupyer notebook config file:

c.NotebookApp.token = ''
c.NotebookApp.password = ''

[takluyver]

That's essentially disabling all security, which we don't recommend. You may want to try setting an explicit password by running jupyter notebook password at the command line.

Ran into a similar situation using firefox a couple of days ago. In addition to running jupyter notebook password, I had to clear some cookies on my browser.

Looks like I've got similar issue.

Firefox opens notebook, but after some time writes "Autosave failed!" and displays orange plate with the word "Forbidden" on saving attempts.

[takluyver]

There is a new version of the notebook coming out very soon which should fix this. Please test the release candidate if you can!

Mine used to work great but now tends to forget the token.

[takluyver]

What version of the notebook do you have (jupyter notebook --version)? We fixed a bug relating to that recently.

[shaljam]

@takluyver I'm using 5.4.1.

[takluyver]

Try upgrading to 5.5.0

[shaljam]

@takluyver Upgrading fixed my problem.

It seems like the token passed via the URL is being altered by some middle layer. See this log for demonstration:

[I 10:48:42.128 NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at:
[I 10:48:42.129 NotebookApp] http://localhost:8888/?token=1c9b13fc28608e7bd2b7bb2d9b491838080a47c58af4b17f
....
[I 10:48:42.412 NotebookApp] Accepting one-time-token-authenticated connection from 127.0.0.1
[I 10:48:46.459 NotebookApp] 302 GET /tree?token=f5faa7ce47aaf66aca1b6ccc283afe5754c9efcbf5fe65d0 (127.0.0.1) 1.16ms

If one copy/pasted the generated URL it works as expected, so something is fiddling around with the token before passing it to the browser. As observed this only affects Firefox (only tested on Linux). The observed behaviour is still present in notebook-5.5.0, but I suspect that Firefox or the layer below it is the culprit as other browsers handle the URL correctly.
