Log Into Facebook
Joseph Zyiuahndy
Trying to get my Gear VR up and running on Samsung S9. Occlusion VR app says Continue with Facebook, but then says Logging into Facebook from embedded browser disabled. Tried logging into Occulus, but it says the account has been linked to Facebook -- so I can't log in either place. Any ideas?
Hey CptnShiny! We understand you're having trouble logging in to your Facebook/Oculus account. This is because Facebook blocks out embedded browsers due to their risk assessment. To try and work around this we suggest enabling two-factor authentication. To enable this:
Hello, I went through the same thing and it is solved by installing the Facebook app on your cell phone and you must log in with your data, then go to Oculus Gear and log in with face book and it will recognize your account, thus skipping the error
was having the same problem... i fixed it this morning.... THERE ARE 2 OCULUS APPS.... the one you download on Google play IS NOT the app you use for the Geer VR...
I was having same issues.. when I put my phone into the Geer headset, I'd get a message saying that I'm not logged into the Oculus App.. when I logged into the (wrong) oculus app I'd get a message saying imbedded browser was disabled...
Anyways, I found an article that pointed out there is a Geer Oculus app that downloads when you put your phone into the headset.... I found that app on my phone this morning, logged into it with my FB creds and... WOOOOHOOOO..... my Geer VR is back in action!!!
Having trouble with a Facebook or Instagram account? The best place to go for help with those accounts is the Facebook Help Center or the Instagram Help Center. This community can't help with those accounts.
I would pull the comments regularely from the graph api to have them in my database and comments that are done using the classic form should be posted over the api (not necessarily as the user, could be an admin account...) to have all the data synchronized.
I looked at the Javascript SDK Docs, also found the function getloginstatus but the documentations are bad and not conclusive. I know that there are also often features available at facebook codes that are not documented or implemented in higher level apis.
identifies security risks in Google and Facebook that will allow you to determine if a user is logged in. While no official API exists to check if a user is logged in without that user giving you express permission to access this information, the above article shows how you can 'guess' if a user is logged in or not.
I also ran into similar requirements and solved my problem with following code; Using the Javascript SDK, I used FB object. FB is a facebook object, it has property called _userStatus, this can be used like following.

On every previous version of Firefox, I have been able to navigate, post, and comment on Facebook without a hitch. Since I updated to the latest version of Firefox, I can copy text and URLs, but I can no longer paste them into the post field on my timeline, and I cannot paste them into the comment field of someone else's post.
Facebook intercepts your paste to do fancy things with it, like turn URLs into little web page summaries. That requires some scripts to be able to respond to the event of receiving a paste. Could you check to see whether you modified this setting and, if you did, try setting it back to the default:

My Reply: You understand wrong that "it is for a game". As I described in my original post, what I'm trying to do is paste copied text, URLs, etc. into a "share" or "post" field on Facebook. It has nothing to do with online games, nor the games on Facebook. I don't play games on Facebook or anywhere else online. So, no. Your understanding is incorrect.
Even if Windows 10 was using its own drivers for one or more device, that should be taken into consideration by all browser and other software developers during development. It's "Software Development 101".
I design and build machinery for a living, and the first thing that one learns is to take all factors into consideration when designing a machine, especially a machine that is being designed to work effectively and efficiently with other machinery. In such a scenario, one does not build a machine that works with other machinery on a hit-or-miss basis. It has to work consistently, and its performance must be flawless. So it is with software. The concept is identical.

I have also tried uninstalling Firefox 32-bit browser from both Windows 7 and Windows 10 and installing Firefox's 64-bit version on both systems. The 64-bit version exhibited even more problems. It was slower all the way around than the 32-bit version. The general browsing experience was not good, regardless of which operating system I used. Consequently, I uninstalled Firefox 64-bit browser on both operating systems, scrubbed the registry, and reinstalled Firefox 32-bit.
In Windows 7, I can copy, paste, and post just fine in Firefox. I tried it with add-ons enabled, and again with add-ons disabled. I am using the same version of Firefox on both operating systems. The problem with using Firefox with Facebook when using Windows 7 is that it is slower when scrolling, typing, etc.; and performance degrades to the point that I have to close Firefox, clear the cache and all Flash cookies, then restart Firefox.
In contrast to Firefox's behavior, I can open Google Chrome, 64-bit browser in either operating system, and it navigates Facebook just fine. There are no problems, and browsing speed and accuracy are consistent on Facebook from start to finish. However, I do not like Google Chrome for several reasons, not the least of which is security and privacy.
Google may say that it respects the user's privacy, but it does not. Firefox is moving farther and farther away from user security and confidentiality, but it's still better than the alternatives. Almost every browser is more secure and respectful of user privacy than Google Chrome, with the possible exception of Microsoft's Edge browser. I've never used Edge.
Be that as it may, Firefox does not play well with Facebook in Windows 10. The solution, as I see it, is for Mozilla to stop shifting the blame to Windows 10 and simply build a browser that works well in that environment, with Windows 10's quirks taken into account. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, the only one having these same issues.
It's like this: If Google's Chrome developers can build a browser in two flavors (32-bit and 64-bit) that works well and works consistently in Windows 10--and they have--then Mozilla's Firefox developers should be able to do likewise. I realize that the cores of the two browsers are different, but the principle is the same, which is to render web pages and their contents correctly, dependably, and consistently. I read somewhere that at least some of the developers of Google Chrome were former Mozilla developers. Perhaps Mozilla should see about getting them back, so they can fix Firefox's problems.
I am not just some Facebook junkie. I am Indigenous American (Native American) and founder of an international Native American nonprofit organization that deals with human, civil, and Constitutional rights issues that affect Indigenous American tribal nations. Our organization has a page on Facebook and Twitter, as well as our regular website. I need a dependable browser that will allow copying and pasting of content on Facebook, and that will allow me to view the pages as they were designed to be viewed. A lot of what I post on Facebook is text that I write and edit in notepad, then copy and paste into the organization's Facebook page and share to my personal timeline. Links to pertinent articles dealing with indigenous issues, and posts by other Indigenous Facebook users are also shared, sometimes with comments copied and pasted. As things stand, I cannot use Firefox on Facebook. I have to use Google Chrome. Edge is not an option. I refuse to use a Microsoft browser.
I have used Firefox since its first version, and I have trusted the browser from the start, because it was a fast, lightweight, and dependable version of Mozilla that offered the user infinitely better control of content and privacy than Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Other loyal Firefox users and I are really hoping that Firefox will once again be the innovative, trustworthy, and dependable browser that it has historically been. Sadly, at this time, Firefox is not the innovative browser that it has always been. Firefox and the Mozilla team have always led the way and stayed on top of new web developments, while simultaneously protecting the privacy and the computer investments of its users.
I am hopeful that Mozilla's Firefox will once again take its place at the head of the pack, as the leader in browser technology. Many features of other browsers were directly influenced and originally developed by Mozilla and integrated into Firefox. For example, other browsers would not have tabs if it were not for Firefox. There are other things, as well, but that is the most obvious example.
