I've recently installed the tailscale client on a windows machine. I am unable to authenticate to proceed. I'll detail my setup bellow.

Tailscale client version: 1.14.0
Windows Version: Windows 10 21H1 build 19043.1165
Default browser: Firefox v91.0.2

The client installs as expected then asks for user authentication. Right clicking on the system tray icon and selecting "Log in..." nets no further activity. Attempting to use the cli with "tailscale.exe up" also nets the same result.

Bellow is a small chunk of output from the tailscale service logfiles that seems to be repeating.
