Facebook app: Open links in an external browser
There is a specific issue with the browser in the Facebook application alternately placing requests to websites without cookies that were previously placed. This seems to be a browser glitch that needs to be fixed soon. The easiest way to avoid this problem is to continue using the Facebook app but not using an in-app browser. This can be done through the following steps:
- Open the settings menu by clicking on the hamburger menu at the top right
- Select “Application Settings” from the menu
- Turn on the “External links open” option (this will use the device’s default browser)
