Problem with Firefox

Please upgrade to JFBConnect v4.2.4. There was an obscure bug that affected specific sites and users with the Autologin functionality in JFBConnect. v4.2.4 should fix that problem for you.

If not, let us know!

Thanks,
Alex

Philip,
As you've seen in the past, we have no problem posting small code changes in the forums. Unfortunately, the code required to fix this was distributed across the main component, and both user and system plugins. It's a bit of code and also spans changes from the 4.2.3 release as well. It's simply not something we'd post because it would take a lot of time to pull it together, and it's affected by multiple other changes in each release (see our changelog for fixes related to logging in in 4.2.3 and 4.2.4), which means it may not work properly without some of the other changes.

This is one of those times where Facebook changed something and we had to push out a fix for it, and is a consequence of relying on 3rd party authentication.

However, with all that said, this only affects the auto-login functionality of JFBConnect. If you disable the auto-login option, you shouldn't experience this problem. It may not be the ideal fix for you, outside of upgrading, but it will at least prevent the problem for your users.

Hope that helps, and sorry for the troubles,
Alex

That's definitely strange then. Alright.. circling back to the top post, what exactly is happening for you? The original post was that if they opened any page on their site, there all of a sudden would be a redirect loop. The only reason we can think of that this would happen is if auto-login was enabled and JFBConnect was not updated to detect the user is actually logged in, after a change FB made in late June.

If the page is trying to redirect while auto-login is disabled, I'd be pretty confused as to what's actually causing the loop. However, I'd be more than happy to look into it. Can you:
* Post (or private message) the site with this issue?
* Let me know if you are logged into Facebook in another tab when the loop occurs?
* Does it only happen with Firefox?

Thanks,
Alex

Philip,
I just tested on your site and I didn't see the issue in Firefox. However, I did see another issue you may not be aware of. In the 4.2.1 version of JFBConnect, there is a bug with the custom login button like you're using on your home page. It doesn't request the proper permissions, like the Javascript based button. It's a quick fix you can find in the post below:

I don't think that's your issue, but definitely something you'll want to fix. To test, in Facebook.com, go to Account Settings -> Apps and remove your app. Then, try to login again with the custom button and make sure all the proper permissions are requested.

Maybe that will fix your issue as well, but if not, please try clearing caches in your browser. It doesn't sound like you're getting a login loop, like the original poster.. so you're having a different problem than what we fixed in v4.2.4. Your only relation is that it seems you have an issue in Firefox only.

Hope that helps,
Alex
