Facebook App: Open links in an external browser
There is a specific issue with the browser in the Facebook app that periodically requests websites without cookies that have been previously set. This appears to be a browser bug that should be fixed soon. The easiest approach to avoid this problem is to continue using the Facebook app but not using the in-app browser.
This can be done through the following steps:
1. Open the settings menu by clicking on the hamburger menu on the top right
2. Select “Application Settings” from the menu
3. Turn on the “Links open externally” option (This will use the device’s default browser)
