FIXED – You can’t get there from here
With Office 365 Conditional Access Policy security applied users will see the error below when attempting to view SharePoint Online with a different browser (FireFox, Chrome, etc.). This makes debugging front end JavaScript applications challenging without Chrome’s excellent F12 debug tools.
However, we have a fix.
Leverage Internet Explorer to obtain a valid Office 365 session and export those cookies to text. Demo video shows exactly how to extract the “FedAuth” and “rtFa” cookies to successfully login from any web client (FireFox, Chrome, Fiddler, REST Post Man).
Cheers!

FIXED – Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
When coding JavaScript with SP-PNP-JS I came across the error below and wanted to document for others. Cheers! 
Error
Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
Root Cause
When calling HTTP GET the default Header “accept: application/json” can return data as XML.
Use F12 Developer Tools to view network traffic with HTTP headers and raw response text.
Solution
Modify JS code to initialize AngularJS with different HTTP headers.
Now SharePoint PNP api calls with Header “accept: application/json; odata=verbose” and returns data as JSON for correct parsing.
$pnp.setup({
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose"
}
});

Measure Performance – SharePoint Online (o365-speed)
PowerShell offers an excellent way to measure command line execution times with “Measure-Command” and Script Block. With the example below, we run 10 repetitions to connect to SharePoint online and measure the response time in milliseconds. Cheers!

In late-March, 2018, we are launching a new Microsoft Teams & Skype for Business admin center experience. The new admin center will give you a single location to manage Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business going forward and this change is the first step to achieve this goal. This change will also deliver additional functionality, end-to-end insights, and the ability to manage Teams settings on a user level. This message is associated with Office 365 Roadmap IDs: 24189 and 26982. This feature is only available to members of your organization that have been granted administrator-level permissions.

We will begin gradually migrating settings to the new experience to select organizations on March 19, 2018. On March 31, 2018, we will continue the rollout to all Office 365 organizations. In the coming months, we’ll continue to further improve the new admin center to give you a centralized location for you to access all of your administrative needs by migrating other functionality and features Once we begin the migration, the Skype and Teams settings in the Office 365 admin center and Skype for Business admin center will be disabled, and we will display a message with a link pointing you to the new Microsoft Teams & Skype for Business admin center.

Microsoft Forms in the Office 365 App launcher (Feb 15)
The waffle menu will soon have a new icon. Keep an eye out for mid-February on your tenant. Cheers! 
Announcement
Microsoft Forms is a part of Office 365 that allows your users to quickly and easily create custom quizzes, surveys, questionnaires, registrations and more. When you create a quiz or form, you can invite others to respond to it using any web browser, even on mobile devices. As results are submitted, you can use built-in analytics to evaluate responses. Form data, such as quiz results, can be easily exported to Excel for additional analysis or grading.
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-up-Microsoft-Forms-cc52287a-4550-464d-9a1b-457bf9df2240?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
What is the limit on the number of responses for Microsoft Forms?
You can receive up to 5,000 responses. If you require more, we recommend exporting existing responses to an Excel workbook, and then clearing these from your survey or quiz. This will enable you to collect more responses once cleared.
Will Microsoft Forms replace Microsoft InfoPath?
No. Microsoft InfoPath was a solution to create customizable forms that can enable automated workflows, whereas Microsoft Forms is a basic, lightweight app for quickly collecting information via surveys and quizzes.
Microsoft InfoPath is being replaced by SharePoint Lists, Flow, and PowerApps – modern solutions for digitizing traditional company forms, automating workflows, and transforming business processes. Learn more.
