For some reason (I think when firebase is connecting for the first time when a browser has been restarted) authentication takes a very long time, from 10 seconds to 60.
Here is my log for example:
got token Resource {id: 78, name: "Roy"…} -JCrPModRae-xgM79s2x 1402998624712 create firepad
First line (connect to firebase) - create a firebase link ref
Second, 3rd, 4th and 5th is getting a user token from my local server.
Now the important part:
Authenticating again is calling firebase.auth with the token @ 1402998624713
Next is auth success @
1402998685692
That took 60 seconds!!!
