Facebook app: Open link in external browser
There is a specific issue with the Facebook in-app browser that is intermittently making requests to websites without cookies already set. This appears to be a bug in the browser that should be fixed soon. The simplest solution to avoid this problem is to continue using the Facebook app but not use the in-app browser.

This can be done through the following steps:
1. Open the Settings menu by clicking on the hamburger menu at the top right
2. Select “App Settings” from the menu
3. Turn on the “Links open externally” option (this will use the device’s default browser)
