Issue with HMRC Authorisation Web Page

I've just updated to solar accounts online and now can't connect to the HMRC authorisation web page from your site. It says when I click to connect that "my web browser will open in a few seconds" - but then nothing else happens!!

Hi Simon,

Sorry for the problems you are having with Solar Accounts opening your
browser. Instead of clicking the link in Step 2 in Solar Accounts, just
click on this link here:

https://api.service.hmrc.gov.uk/oauth/authorize?scope=read%3Avat+write%3Avat&response_type=code&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&client_id=oxYYNfjnez_fSMKJh4Ib4elrIvga

You can then proceed as normal and generate an authorisation code and paste
it into Solar Accounts.
