Description

Hey Sambo,

I signed up to Google Play through the desktop app, but it doesn't seem to want to let me get past that point. I'm getting a stalling message saying "Setting up Google Play Music".

First Time User Bug

A potential quick fix might be to just bring a chrome pop up window open, which then installs the extension?

Research direction
Investigate the sign up flow in the main process, specifically how Google Play authentication is handled. Check if there is a modal or popup that is not being displayed properly. Consider implementing a workaround to open the sign up page in a Chrome popup window as suggested in the issue.
