OpenClaw browser

Session, profile, and login-state troubleshooting

Use this page when the browser opens successfully but the page behaves like the wrong session is being used.

Core idea A logged-out-looking page often means wrong browser context, not broken browser control.

If the page opens, ask the session question first

A healthy browser can still show the wrong behavior because the workflow used the wrong browser profile or inherited the wrong state expectations.

The safest recovery moves are usually small

  • switch from isolated `openclaw` to `user` when real signed-in state matters
  • switch from `user` to managed `openclaw` when repeatability matters more than inherited state
  • inspect cookies and storage before clearing them
  • treat profile switching as a normal correction, not a hack

What these failures usually mean

Looks logged out

Wrong profile

The task likely needed `user` instead of isolated `openclaw`.

State leaks between runs

Wrong repeatability model

The task likely needed managed `openclaw` instead of `user`.

Behavior is wrong but structure is fine

Stored state issue

Inspect cookies and storage before escalating.
