Has anyone experienced this before....currently getting an error when JFB connect in enabled and using Firefox. When a Joomla user the Facebook connect it overloads cookies causing a Firefox error message after browsing our Joomla site for about 10-15 minutes. I am pretty sure its the cookies because when I go in and delete the cookies for Facebook and for our site all pages load perfectly fine. Love the extension just need to have this fixed or we will have to disable it...

Thanks In Advance...if not descriptive enough I can provide screen shots.

If it's the standard "This page is redirecting in a way that doesn't resolve" or whatever Firefox says we don't need a picture. It's generic enough that it won't tell us anything. If there's a specific error that shows up on your Joomla site, or if you think the FF error is descript, definitely feel free to paste it here.

As for the issue, I'm not sure what it would be. There have been redirect issues in the past, but usually, it's a server or configuration issue conflicting with JFBConnect (that doesn't mean that it can't be fixed in JFBConnect). It shouldn't be a cookie issue, directly, but can easily be that the cookie gets destroyed improperly so that Facebook can't validate the user anymore and therefore starts denying the user access to their system. The fact that it's just in Firefox is strange.

So, to diagnose, please:
* Ensure that the JFBConnect Overview (in the admin area) doesn't show any errors in the "Required Extensions" area. Problems here can cause issues in numerous ways.
* Not that it's fun, but can you troll our this site, or our demo site (sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/demo) and see if you run into the same issue?
* Try with multiple users on your site, just in case it's local to that one user
* See if there's a specific page (or a couple) that cause the redirect loop error more frequently.

Finally, feel free to post your URL and we can look at the HTML on the page to see if there's anything out of the ordinary we see. Eventually, we may need a Super Admin account to diagnose further, but for now, just the URL should work.

Thanks
