If you have the "Enable Automatic Registration" setting set to "Yes" in JFBConnect, the account should be automatically created. However, if the user's Facebook account has the same email address as a user on your Joomla site already, they may be brought to the form-based registration page you're showing. That's because JFBConnect can't automatically create a new user with the same email address.

Some things to check:
* Enable the "Automatically Connect Accounts by Email" setting in JFBConnect. If a user logs in with a social network and a Joomla user with that email address already exists, those two accounts will automatically be linked together.
* Try from a different Facebook account with a unique email address not already associated to a Joomla account on your site.

None of what you show above would be caused by being on a localhost dev site though, so I think you're ok there.

I hope that helps,
Alex

I had try everything you list above and still have no luck and i have happen to know that i can't "Like" on facebook social icon and google + too. Maybe this happen to be some plugin error.

I finally found source of the problem. facebook account that i used to login is set to private so it can't login by that facebook account.
now my only problem is social sharing.

Ahhh! Glad you found that issue.

For social sharing, that is something you'll likely have to wait for putting your site on a real domain. Most of the social sharing features will try to 'scan' the page being shared. The scan is two-fold: 1) to see information about the page for the post that will be created in a users feed and 2) to ensure the page isn't malicious, spam, porn, etc.

Until your site is live and accessible, you will likely run into some issues with sharing, though generally the buttons should generally show so that you can see what they will look like.

I hope that helps explain, but should you need anything else, just let me know!

Thanks,
Alex
