We also get worse thumbnails than before on pages that are basically just a big login screen when you aren't actually logged in.
In the short-term, bug 897880 might help with that - it will arrange so that an error response (roughly, a non 2XX response) will not cause an existing thumbnail to be overwritten. Thus, any thumbnails taken while actually visiting the page (ie, by the "foreground" thumbnail service) should continue to be used.
We make no attempt to handle sites using purely cookie-based auth (ie, sites that always return 200 responses, but still render a "please log in" page based purely on cookies). Also, I mention it may only help in the short-term as it seems possible we will end up removing the foreground service completely to avoid jank and keep all thumbnailing off the main thread/process. However, AFAIK there are no concrete plans for this.
