Had the same issue, but it was resolved after I rebooted the system. When I first had the issue it also helped to start code as root, but then the Firefox-popup for the GitHub login couldn’t be opened. EDIT: But I uninstalled the pre-installed password manager, which might have been the issue and the changes of which might have only taken effect after I rebooted.

No, it did not. The furthest I get is loading on “Select an account to sign in”. image
