... that force you to accept some terms of use before you can surf the internet.

Firefox does not redirect to the login page and simply fails to load the page you requested.

E.g. the wifi of the Deutsche Bahn that covers nearly all major railway stations and long distance trains in Germany.
Workaround: bookmark to the login page in firefox.

Also had issues with the Wifi of a ÖBB railjet train (the Austrian rail company) back in September but for them the android browser got to the login page while firefox didn't. After accepting the terms of use in android, firefox had internet as well.

Guess this is kind of hard to reproduce outside of Germany. I'm happy to provide logs or test stuff, just let me know what to do.

It works great for the public wifi of my city though...

Looks like it has been resolved upstream so should be in furios once phosh has another release and furios rebases to it

As a work around for now you can visit http://detectportal.firefox.com/ on firefox to login on the network
