I use Facebook email notifications a lot, but when i click on a
Facebook link following happens:

- In the foreground Fluid opens ANOTHER Fluid windows, with Facebook
(login page of course).
- In the background, the clicked link opens in the default browser.

I must rightclick and use "Open in default browser". As far as i
remember - maybe before 096 - it used to work and all the clicked
links opened in default browser - by default.

The strangest thing is, that ALL OTHER links are working normally.

I coulndt find any setting that can change this.

I have the same problem. From GMail in Fluid, it opens in a Fluid
window to authorize, then I have to enter my pasword, sends me to
Firefox, and then I have to re-enter my password in FF. Only then FB
opens..

This happens to me too and I find it really annoying. It happens
because in every link that you get in notifications, part of the query
string shows your email address. That matches the "allowed URLs" for
gmail and so Facebook is allowed to open in the SSB just because it
has your email address in the query string. It could probably be fixed
by creating some kind of "exclude" character in the Advanced
preference pane for facebook.com.

in fluids preferences i found the whitelist section, which has an
entry: "*gmail.com*" - i modified it to "https://gmail.com" and added
another line of "http://gmail.com" - now it does not try to open
facebook urls within fluid.

i hope google does not use subdomains in gmail.com domain.
