Facebook app: Open links in an external browser
There is a specific problem with the Facebook app browser that makes occasional requests to websites without previously set cookies. This seems to be a bug in the browser that should be fixed soon. The simplest way to avoid this problem is to continue using the Facebook app, but not using the app’s internal browser. This can be done in the following steps:
- Click on the burger menu in the upper right corner to open the settings menu
- Select Application Settings from the menu
- Enable “Links open externally” (this will use your device’s default browser)
