### Summary
<!-- Summarize the bug encountered concisely. -->
After becoming a Gitlab contributor and all of the associated account changes, I can no longer open the Web IDE.
It seems that a cross-site cookie that wasn't previously used in the Web IDE becomes required.
### Steps to reproduce
<!-- Describe how one can reproduce the issue - this is very important. Please use an ordered list. -->
~~I cannot reproduce it as I can't un-reproduce it to see exactly what is wrong, but here are the steps as I experienced them:~~
~~1. Have a Gitlab.com account.~~
~~2. Use Web IDE successfully.~~
~~3. Create an issue in gitlab-org/gitlab and be invited to become a contributor~~
~~4. Follow contributor on-boarding~~
~~5. Try to open the Web IDE through any method (Code -> Web IDE, Edit -> Open in Web IDE)~~
1. In Firefox, change the setting `Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Enhanced Tracking Protection -> Custom -> Cookies` to "All cross-site cookies"
2. Use Gitlab IDE successfully
3. Become a Gitlab contributor
4. Try to use the Web IDE through any method (Code -> Web IDE, Edit -> Open in Web IDE)
### Example Project
<!-- If possible, please create an example project here on GitLab.com that exhibits the problematic
behavior, and link to it here in the bug report. If you are using an older version of GitLab, this
will also determine whether the bug is fixed in a more recent version. -->
Here is an example Web IDE page to edit the community fork LICENSE file: https://gitlab.com/-/ide/project/gitlab-community/gitlab-org/gitlab/edit/master/-/LICENSE
But it does occur any time I try to open the Web IDE, not in any specific group or project.
### What is the current *bug* behavior?
<!-- Describe what actually happens. -->
A new tab opens, a few loading-style things appear, and then a blank page (`<body></body>`) appears. There are errors logged to the console, which will be in the logs section.
### What is the expected *correct* behavior?
<!-- Describe what you should see instead. -->
Web IDE should open and be usable the same as it was before becoming a contributor. If the Web IDE encounters an error it should either try to reload without the extension, or show the user an error of some kind.
### Relevant logs and/or screenshots
<!-- Paste any relevant logs - please use code blocks (```) to format console output, logs, and code
as it's tough to read otherwise. -->

<details><summary>Collapsed troubleshooting steps, as the issue has been made clearer.</summary>
### Troubleshooting Information
Platform: Firefox 138.0 (64-bit) on Void Linux (Kernel 6.12.28)
Firefox 138.4 (64-bit)
Troubleshooting steps attempted:
1. Disable extensions, add-ons.
2. Restart Computer
3. Firefox in Troubleshooting Mode
4. Opening Gitlab on another device (Android)
5. Enabling/Disabling Preferences->Integrations->Web IDE and Workspaces
It was not working on my phone last night, but that may have been impatience. It works on Firefox for Android, but not Firefox for Linux.
~~I suspect an account issue, but for posterity's sake:~~
~~ Firefox for Android 138.04 (Build #2016091471) on Android 13.~~

under [the maintenance policy](https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/maintenance/), please follow the steps on the
[patch release runbook for GitLab engineers](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release/docs/-/blob/master/general/patch/engineers.md).
Refer to the [internal "Release Information" dashboard](https://dashboards.gitlab.net/d/delivery-release_info/delivery3a-release-information?orgId=1)
for information about the next patch release, including the targeted versions, expected release date, and current status.
#### High-severity bug remediation
To remediate high-severity issues requiring an [internal release](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/releases/internal-releases/) for single-tenant SaaS instances,
