I am testing on:
Tomcat 8.0.30 + MySQL 5.6. Portal master GIT ID: 13c84bf7dbef0b57fcf5eb13d02659be914e56cd.

Browser I am using:
Firefox 38.6.1

I was not able to reproduce this on Chrome 48, and Victor Ware on a mac was not able to reproduce on Safari.

We also are unable to reproduce this except after executing an upgrade.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Liferay 6.1 or 6.2
2. Shut down Liferay
3. Upgrade the database using the DB upgrade tool
4. Start Liferay 7.0
5. Try to sign in using the sign in button on the upper right

Expected result:
User will be able to sign in.

Actual result:
The user will not be able to sign in. There will be an error message indicating the request could not follow through. The following also appears in the console if I immediately try to log in again from the same screen.

23:14:27,082 WARN  [http-nio-8080-exec-5][SecurityPortletContainerWrapper:341] User 0 is not allowed to access URL http://localhost:8080/web/guest/home and portlet com_liferay_login_web_portlet_LoginPortlet

I have attached videos of what it looks like in Chrome (working) and Firefox.
