User sessions are mixed up between browser profiles

laiz

gabfl it looks like it happens when the browser restarts

Would you be able to come up with a reliable way of reproducing this issue? I have noticed my google login making its way to other profiles but I haven't been able to reproduce it consistently. This is extremely frustrating to both users and developers as this is a serious issue but in 7 months we have not been able to get further than "It sometimes happens".

As soon as there are reliable steps to reproduce the issue, the team will be able to fix it and I am sure it will be the top priority at that point.

It's not 100% of the time but could you try on our end the following:
1) Create 2 profiles and have them opened
2) On both of them, open Gmail and login to a different account in each (for example a personal account on one profile and a professional account on the other)
3) Keep the tags open but close both versions of Orion (or reboot the computer)
4) Re-open Orion. Quite often the sessions are mixed up.

I did this yesterday, and after rebooting my computer, both profiles had my professional Github, Gmail, Youtube and Google drive accounts (instead of one of the two profiles having the personal sessions of these same websites).

The tabs will remain the correct ones, same as the bookmarks and so on. Only the sessions gets mixed up. It looks like both sessions re-open with the cookies of one of them.

Does that makes sense?

I have two profiles, "Default" and "Work".
It seems like these profiles share the state of my Google account login, but I really want to keep this separate between the profiles.
When I log into a Google account in "Work", I become logged in to that account in "Default". When I log out of all google accounts in "Default", this also logs out of all Google accounts in "Work".
When I initially created "Work", I asked it to clone the "Default" cookies. I thought this was a one-time thing, but did that permanently link the profiles? It's very frustrating.

I expect that when I log into a Google account in "Work", the "Default" profile is oblivious to that account, and vis versa.

@gabfl @laiz can you try latest RC which we pushed yesterday and check if the new fix works, as we were unable to reproduce the issue, so we count on you to try out the fix 🙂

gabfl

dino I believe I don't have access to the RC. I am a Kagi subscriber for not Orion+. Could you share the RC with me?

dino

gabfl can you please share your Discord username, so I will be able to share RC link with you in DM.

gabfl

@dino my discord username is gabfl6519, I just joined the Orion Discord

gabfl

@dino I have not been able to reproduce the bug with the RC but because it's an intermitent issue it's difficult to say for sure if it's fixed or not

gabfl

@dino @Vlad this is still happening with the new release

I have the following version:

Version 0.99.131-beta (WebKit 621.1.2.111.4)
Build date Feb 13 2025
Mac mini (macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 build 24D70)

And the issue happened after restarting Orion (whtout restarting the computer, only the browser)

dino

gabfl can you please provide steps to reproduce?

gabfl

dino Steps are the ones outlined in my comment from Jan 22nd. It's an intermitent issue, it's hard to explain when it happens, sometimes I have multiple windows of the same profile open and it happens. Sometimes it's just closing and re-opening a profile.

If you try using 2 profiles side by side with the same sessions opened (such as Gmail, one pro, one perso), you will definitively be able to reproduce at some point.

Sorry to be unabled to provide a consitent way to reproduce the issue, it's very intermitent.

Same issue on Version 0.99.131.0.2-beta

I stumbled upon the same issue, between "Work" profile, which is the default, and a personal profile.
MacOS 15.4 (24E248) Version 0.99.132-beta (WebKit 621.1.2.111.4)
Seems to happen to me every time I try to login into different Google accounts.

@gabfl @dannb @Marte77
The most recent Orion RC build hopefully has this bug fixed. Could you test and confirm?
Version 0.99.133.1-rc (WebKit 622.1.9.19.2)
Build date April 30, 2025

gabfl

@laiz — Sorry, but after waiting nearly a year for a fix, I ultimately had to switch browsers, as this bug made my work sessions too unreliable. I truly wish you the best with Orion, and I hope it continues to improve!

I don't have access to rc builds, I just updated to 0.99.133.1-beta, though, and the bug seems to be fixed
