Not sure this is right - isOAuth is going to be true if the integration is OAuthNative (oauth desktop Sync, or any other service flow). The only non-oauth integration that should send web channel messages is the old FxDesktopV3. Haven't tested this locally though.
edit: I should have seen that further down in the isOAuth check, you've got this chunk of code there too and you left the comment 👍 . Can we add a comment about this only being for fx_desktop_v3? We should be able to remove it later when we don't care to support fx_desktop_v3 any longer.

This looks good, thank you for investigating!! r+, but just noting, I didn't test the flows locally. Our functional tests have a desktop v3 test though so might be good to verify there's a test there that sends fxa_login if we don't have one already but I know we have coverage for login + oauth so LGTM.

Just wondering, what ways does it mutate the session state?

I feel like if I'm looking at this file later, I might be confused by what run /oauth/authorization means? It makes me think of the VPN test and us navigating to /authorization there but I think we're just talking about doing the oauth dance/getting the oauth data back.

Because: * In handleNavigation's verified-OAuth path, sendFxaLogin (the fxaccounts:login webchannel event) was dispatched synchronously BEFORE awaiting getOAuthNavigationTarget (the /v1/oauth/authorization HTTP call). The browser's async handler for that webchannel message can mutate session state, racing with the in-flight HTTP request. * This produced intermittent 401 "Token not found" failures on the HTTP call — most reproducibly when the same browser context goes through two consecutive OAuth flows (e.g. the vpn integration test signing into Sync then VPN). The first /oauth/authorization succeeded; the second one would 401 even though the session remained valid for /account/profile, /session/status, and /oauth/token in between. This commit: * Reorders handleNavigation so getOAuthNavigationTarget runs first, obtaining the OAuth code while the session is still untouched, and THEN fires fxaLogin and fxaOAuthLogin. The Login → OAuthLogin order is preserved (still required for Desktop OAuth per FXA-10388). * Adds a v1-account regression test alongside the existing vpn integration test, using target.createAuthClient(1) so the v1→v2 upgrade path is exercised on the first sign-in even after testAccountTracker defaults to v2 (separate PR). closes FXA-13687
…tener Because: * The "authority generates QR URL and supplicant connects via channel" pairing spec consistently times out in CI. Firefox's FxAccountsPairingFlow processes both pairAuthorize and pair:supp:authorize but pair:auth:authorize is never delivered to the supplicant. The root cause is an unresolved environment-specific interaction between Playwright's bundled Firefox and the production channel server (wss://channelserver.services.mozilla.com). * requestAnimationFrame callbacks are throttled in background/headless Firefox windows. sendPairingCommand and pairHeartbeat both used rAF to schedule their sends, causing the 500 ms fallback timeout to fire without the commands ever reaching Firefox. * recordAuthorizationOnLogin was awaited on the /oauth/authorization response path, adding unnecessary DB latency. This commit: * Marks the happy-path pairing test as fixme (FXA-13687) with a detailed comment. The test infrastructure changes below are retained for when the underlying environment issue is resolved. * Pre-installs a WebChannel listener for fxaccounts:oauth_login before clicking Confirm, giving an earlier success signal than waitForURL. * Bumps TIMEOUTS.AUTHORITY_COMPLETE from 15s to 30s. * Removes requestAnimationFrame from sendPairingCommand and pairHeartbeat in firefox.ts so commands are dispatched immediately. * Makes recordAuthorizationOnLogin fire-and-forget in /oauth/authorization. * Adds WebChannel redirect URIs to the Fenix OAuth client in dev.json: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob:pair-auth-webchannel and urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob:oauth-redirect-webchannel.
