I have the same problem as this issue, with one small difference: After using the Facebook login form, the resulting (correct) website is loaded into the tiny login window. This also confuses the module somehow, as I usually end up having to log in twice this way before it will stick.

Did you do what is stated in the issue you link to? ie: try the -dev version to see if it is a bug that has since been fixed and is awaiting the next release? If the bug is still reproducable in -dev switch the version of this issue as it would be fixed in -dev and not in 6.x-1.0-beta8

I would have, but the -dev version listed for download is older than the new beta-8 release:

6.x-1.0-beta8 --> 2009-Jun-10
6.x-1.x-dev --> 2009-Jun-03

Can you confirm that the -dev release is in fact newer? I suppose the dev release would fix the problem, since the previous release didn't have it. Do you want me to try it none-the-less? I can confirm right now that beta-7 didn't do this. (-;

ahhh, good catch. I didn't look at the dates of the releases. The dates are certainly what you should go by.

Here is something that may be of help, as well... The URL in the location bar that the "tiny login window" tries to go to, when login is attempted, is something like the following (some numbers have been changed for privacy):

http://mywebsite.com/?session={%22session_key%22%3A%223.SNqs0emeLQPnPBXQARJI1Q__.86400.1245365200-1642710453%22%2C%22uid%22%3A1642790353%2C%22expires%22%3X1245669200%2C%22secret%22%3A%2235UlnLlIqHejXqbm4BSJLg__%22%2C%22base_domain%22%3A%22mywebsite.com%22%2C%22sig%22%3A%22c6708ab7182a047a84731f4e8b350b8b%22}&next=http%3A%2F%2Fmywebsite.com%2Fsites%2Fall%2Fmodules%2Ffbconnect%2Fxd_receiver.html%3Ffb_login%26fname%3D_opener

Seems like an unconventional URL at best. ;-)

I have had this problem, and it was always due to an incorrect API key entered in fbconnect's settings. I would go back and check your settings and see if it's still happening.

It isn't an incorrect API key. The module works intermittently. If the key was wrong it would never work, unless Facebook has a critical gaping security problem.

I had this problem and it resolved when I changed my Base URL (in my facebook application settings) to mysite.com -- no www, no http://.
Hope that helps someone.

i get this with latest release (except it never does log me in)

also, i would guess FB settings has changed as it no longer has a setting for "base url" it does have site url and site domain; neither of which allow you to put the wrong format in.
