Authorize an org runs indefinitely in browser

See original GitHub issue

Summary

Running “Authorize an org” does not work. After logging in the browser the page loads infinitely.

Steps To Reproduce:

In VS Code Cmd: SFDX: “Authorize an org” or via cli “sfdx force:auth:web:login -r https://(customerurl)–dev1.my.salesforce.com”
Firefox 83.0 opens and I log in
Infinite loop

Expected result

Successful authorization

Actual result

Infinite loop

Additional information

I’ve checked with two orgs where I have never been authorized so far. I’ve also tried Chromium, same behaviour. It used to work.

My team and I got the same issue since friday 22 january. We are not able to perform an authorize of our org anymore. It keeps on looping on the localhost:1717. Tried an old version of sfdx-cli but still the same issue. Any idea how we can resolve this? we are not able to carry on our work.

For now you can use an alternative authorization flow with force:auth:device:login.

I experienced the same issue on Linux Mint 20

$ sfdx-cli --version
sfdx-cli/7.82.1-0 linux-x64 node-v8.11.3

I was able to work around this issue by installing an older version (7.74.1).
