Public bug reported:
I've been setting up a captive WIFI hotspot portal and obviously used
the Ubuntu phone to test things. Everything works as expected with one
minor exception:
When the browser tries to get the first website after connection to that
hotspot, it is redirected to a website that opens a new popup with the
login form. Once logged in, that window needs to stay open and offers
pssibilities to track the connection duration and log out from the
hotspot. Usually on desktops, such popups don't have an address bar
while on the ubuntu phone it does. Also it doesn't open a new popup, but
opens the login form inside this browser window. This kinda guides the
user to reuse the browser window after logging in which causes the
hotspot connection to time out.
Ideally, the browser would open the login window in a new window (maybe
tab?) with disabled address bar and upon login, allow the original
window to be redirected again to the original url the user tried to
open.
